MS Project 2010, we are actively used "local" graphics that lead users. These charts usually lie in the My Documents users (a network folder). Some graphs are in SharePoint catalog, but also in the MPP-files.

For some time now, the local graphics were used more actively. Moreover, the problems began. Very often, normally saved and closed MPP-file is not re-opened. Those. People worked night, save the file; Project closed and turned off the computer. On the morning of the file does not open. We reach a file from the backup of the night - not open. It turns out that the file is damaged when you save and close.

"Broken" file when opening produces this message:
An unexpected error occurred while opening the file. The file may be corrupted. Use the backup file.

Is there any recovery methods?

    Save the file in the Microsoft Project Database format:
    1. Open your problem file (it may help to turn off automatic calculation if the file is reluctant to open).
    2. Select File/Save As...
    3. Save as type: Project Database (*.mpd) then click Save.
