New stored work disappears randomly up to a certain date.

Hello,

I work with Trados since several years and everything went well, since some days ago. I have a long list of projects stored in my project page of Trados, and every day, the new translated works were stored on top of the list. Since some days, the new stored works disappear when I close the computer (all older than a fixed certain date remain stored nonetheless). That is very bad, because some works are longer and take more than one day, so if my computer closes by himself,. I lose all the done work. What can I do?

I already updated Trados and Windows but that does not seem to help.

  • Oh, I found the reason. Apparently, at some point Trados started to save project folders on the desktop

    Certainly not. There is no software, which all of sudden simply changes the location of the stored files. It is always the user, who decides where the files shall be saved.
    In that very case I strongly recommend you to create a decent folder structure, where your projects will be stored in the future.
    Best would be to have a drive dedicated to this task, where you would have folders for your customers with subfolder for their projects. And by all means: do backup ALL this data at least daily!
