Right,
Had a gig on yesterday, and was using a Road Hog...
I used a Show File I had used previously, loaded the show up, and made some changes in cues, added pallets etc...
I then Backed the show up, using a different name, the name of the job, it backed up, successfully, and I thought it was sorted. I then shut down the desk (properly) and moved my control position to where it needed to be, from my programming position....
However, when I booted the desk up, it firstly wouldn't load the Backup, telling me that it was 'Reading Archive', and secondly, when I loaded the main show, because it didn't want to load the Backup, it wiped EVERYTHING, Patch, Pallets, Cues... When I logged back out, to re-load the file, the desk told me the show file was last modified on the 16th May 2009 - the correct date.
If it had loaded the old show, then I would understand, maybe, but it wiped everything.
The only oddity, was the I had set my view screens to start showing from Pallets 50 onwards, because un-used bits from the previous show, the View update had transfered between shows, but, it totally wiped everything, apart from these Views....
I am sure I need to email my Show File in, but this is seriously odd!
