File truncated to 0 bytes during power failure

Question

Power went down while editing a file with Geany and the file got truncated to 0 bytes ... Is it possible to recover the file ?

Answer 1

Normally editors rename the file to a backup, usually with a '#' or '~' in the name, and then save the new file. In your case, the power failed before the new file was written, so just look for the backup.
