    Hello forum,

    I am currently working on my graduation project, and yesterday one of my save files got corrupted. Now when I try to start up the project from the usual location it not longer recognizes any of my assets in the scene, now I have managed to get the project working again by copying the project file from my external hard drive, (the location where I was working on the project) to my desktop hard drive where an older version of the project was located, I copied the Unity scene file and it's meta file to the hard drive and ran the project, this worked. However the project kept all the things I had added over the course of time, but it did not keep the terrain I had sculpted in the mean time. So the project works, but I really need that terrain as well, otherwise that will set me back quite some time, which I do really need to use on different matters. Does anyone know how I can retrieve the data for my terrain or if there is a way to restore the corrupted file?

    I really hope one of you can help me :)

    Best, Nathan
