That really pisses me off about Cubase. Session files are so small - why can't it just do file backups like protools and save them under sequential names in a separate folder. I can't tell you how many times I've had session files come back corrupted for no apparent reason at all . The save as thing is the only work=around, and god help me if I forget. Stupid,stupid,stupid. If your audio files are corrupt in addition to your session files, you may be in for some trouble - since audio files are so big, they generally span multiple sectors on a hard drive, and if the file's header info (or the drive's MBR) gets corrupted, checksum errors result. all the data is probably still there, but the drive may not be able to put all the pieces of the files together without some outside influence. (I'm no CE, but that's my understanding of it) I've got an app somewhere that allows you to view and open scraps of audio files on a damaged disk - I'll see if I can dig it up - you lose timecode, so if you have an edit-heavy session, you can't spot, but it's baled me out a few times.
