Do as I say, not as I do (or in this case don’t do what I didn’t do). Back up your files. Always back up your damn files.
Yeah, you know that car music I did yesterday? The one where I put vocals on four songs? Yeah, I just accidentally deleted the vocal track from one of those songs. I didn’t notice until after I was past the point where undo could bring it back. Also, with all the travelin’ fun yesterday I never got around to backing up the work I did in the car and now that vocal take is gone forever and I have to do it again.
On the up side though, I did manage to put rhythm guitars onto four songs today and lead guitars onto three. It should have been leads on four, but one of them needs to have the vocals redone because I am a friggin’ idiot.
Back up your files. Always.
Note: Today’s work has already been backed up. That doesn’t fix what I didn’t back up yesterday though. Moron.

I’ve done the same thing for projects, so damn frustrating

Oh man! I hate losing completed work. The redo never seems to feel as good as as the first take. Glad you only lost one though.

You could use Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive so that everything gets backed-up automatically.

I manually back up music files to an external drive, and that is what I forgot to do yesterday. I also back up my entire system automatically via Apple’s Time Machine. I could restore to a back up from earlier this morning, it’s just probably more work than re-recording the one track I lost.
