TOPIC: My template is gone!

Please HELP!
I am new to HIP and have spent countless hours building a custom template. I opened the template today and all my work is gone, just a blank menu appears. All other templates are still there. I saved all my work on HIP as I went but haven't saved it on any kind of back up yet. I don't even know how this could happen. Anybody have this happen to them?

Could you have saved it under another template name?  
Have you done any reports that you have saved, even a test report?

Thanks for the quick response. I just found my template. It looks like I have two software programs HIP and HIP3 and it was in the other file location. Just downloaded a copy to my external hard drive. Man I thought two months of cutting , pasting, building a user friendly boiler plate and just gone. I'll be sure to back up on a regular basis from now on just in case. 

Wait, I am trying to get a copy of this to my hard drive. Any suggestions on how to save it. It's not like sending photos. Is there a link on HIP?

You have to save individual files. Go into the HIP folder and select the Data folder that contains the Templates. Save that to your HD. Creat a folder for the Saved Data in your HD.

If that is what you are trying to do, get a hold of HIP support.

(I am assuming you are using a PC).

Note: Along with my external HD, I also use Carbonite which saves all my (assigned) files whenever my computer is booted up. I never have to worry about forgetting to back up anything. I do have my processes, but a backup to a backup is a major relief. Trust me... I lost EVERYTHING a few years ago, and have never recovered 100% from it. Now I have peace of mind!

Here's a referral link for anyone that would like to check out Carbonite:
