PowerDirector 19.0 uses the same .pds file backup location (i.e., 19.0 instead of 11.0). Thank you for this post, it was a life saver.

Why did I need it? My files were on an external drive that became disconnected through the night and PD removed the file links in my production. In the morning I hit save (hindsight - should not have), not realizing all of my external file content was removed, and it saved a new, nearly empty version, of the production.

The backup from the previous night was fully intact saving my 6 hours of work from the previous day.

Tried the recommended fix, but alas... to no avail. Any other clues? I can't imagine why this isn't a simple box to check
on the Prefrences menu... hmmm.

It won't help if your SSD/HDD sufferes a failure, but you can easily find the folder by going to Preferences | Project | Browse (beneath the Auto save checkbox).
