I'm glad you got your file back. Last night I had been working on a landscape and had been saving it every 30 mins or so, but during about a 3-hr non-stop tree-adding and tweaking session, when I realized I was ready to start the final render, I tried to save, and got the old "Bryce is tired and must go to sleep now without saving your file" (I'm paraphrasing) message. Luckily, the last save was intact but no trees, no tweaked textures and lighting and sky and object positioning changes from 3 hrs. work. Oh, well, "Save, save, save, save, and save out under 2 different file names everytime you save. It's less likely that you will lose both your file and the backup, too. A lesson I had already learned, but when the work is progressing really well, you can get excited and forget to save (Like me). :^(
