----------
If you didn't create a backup file then there isn't one. RR assumes you have
the *standard practice* of making frequent backups, which you should be
doing as a matter of course throughout the development process. If your
stack gets corrupted during development, you can revert to the last backup
and lose only what you've done since then, rather than losing the whole
banana.
