I was just working along and had a fatal error. Now my "draw_recover.dwg" is newer than "draw.dwg"

How I can put the more up to date "draw_recover.dwg" back in vault (I'd change the name of course)

It happened Friday also, just to make sure it would get backed up, I saved the evenings's work in the same old production folder on our network, (Not C:, and since I couldn't save to to the vault, not there either) Monday morning vault said I still had it checked out. When I opened it it was Friday noon's work, and it overwrote the drawing in C:. Thank goodness I saved.

We had to blow out the entire existing project in vault so we could start from scratch. It kind of sucked because I was working on the existing stuff which was the base for and shared to other drawings. Then I had a naming conflict. "Danger...Danger...We already have a surface and alignments with that name".."Well yes...I name them that"
