Recovering a Previous Campaign Save File?

Post by Veinscrawler »

I have somehow saved over my campaign with the blank Grasslands map that Maptool always opens on. The original campaign file has been completely overwritten.

Is there a way to recover the original file? Or is everything gone forever?

You can check the backup folder C:\Users\[user]\.maptool-rptools\backup. I highly recommend doing progressive saves in the future. I usually load my campaign then save it with a new name, usually the date.

I'm always shocked by how many users exclusively save over their campaign file... leading to situations like this.

A FREQ should be put in to default append the time and date to any save file.
