Maya scene loading blank (empty)

[glacialwinter]

Hi,

I was working on this file for a few days, and suddenly my computer crashed (Blue screen).

I keep saving my file all the time, pressing CTRL+S, and I had saved the file a few seconds before the crash, so I hoped that none of my progression was lost.

But when I tried to load my scene, it had absolutely nothing on it.

I was stupid enough to keep working on this same file for 4 days, and now I'm afraid I've lost everything I've worked on.

I saw some solutions, but unfortunately Maya didn't generate a crash file, so I only have the MB file.

I tried uploading here, but even this I couldn't do it, because of this error: The attachment's radio_shack_02.mb content type (application/octet-stream) does not match its file extension and has been removed.

I have uploaded the file into this drive link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qlpNxQghEWNTfMAP5_cfgVWxUQLReMxc/view?usp=sharing

I'd appreciate any sort of help.

Thanks.

Hi!

I am sorry, but this file does not contain any data (nothing was saved), so there there is nothing that can be recovered.

To prevent data loss like this:
1. Do incremental saves (as often as suitable) and from time to time save or export in an additional format (like FBX or OBJ).
2. Create backups.
