TR4W log recovery procedures

• Consider control-J BACKUP LOG FILENAME. If possible on different drive
• Set BACKUP FREQUENCY to '1'
• Now, if a failure occurs,_a backup resides in LOGBACKUP_x. Copy this to your log directory and rename/replace under filename [contest-name].TRW and restart TR4W program********

N5AW notes that this worked for him:

On NA8V's suggestion I renamed the files that were in the original program folder named LOGBACKUP_001.TRW and RSTBACKUP_001.RST to CWOPS.TRW and CWOPS.RST. Bingo I got the missing QSOs - or at least most of them. I know one I made with N3RS at the time of the failure was not there. It did not have the Q's after the restart of the program though. I added those by doing an import of the adif file from the original. So I've pretty much recovered everything.
