I was editing a project when the external drive (where my library resides) was disconnected for a moment, prompting final cut to tell me me to quit, which I did. When I relaunched, the Event which contained that project had a little yellow exclamation point sign on it for missing file.

I see the project is still in finder, but it must have become corrupted. Thus, I was trying to find the backup file but I don't see them anywhere, nor is the Open Library -> From Backup option selectable. Can anyone tell me where the backups would reside if my Library exists on the root level of my external drive? I thought it would be in MyLibrary->MyEvent->MyProject but I don't see anything there but the current version file.

Thanks!

Nevermind; I got it. The backups were being created on my Movies folder on the computer itself; wasn't expecting that because the library is on an external. All is well ;)

Glad you solved your problem. Just so you know, you can change the location of those backups to any drive location, folder, etc. by choosing it in the FCPX preferences.
