I have my composition on the compositions folder with: 18000 KB
I double click it and it opens the example composition.
I dont have any backup of this file and it contains 2 years of continuous improvements.
How can i recover this? Is there a folder that i should look into?
On the recents i cant see any composition as well!

Ive read some stuff about the file being XML
I use sublime text to open the file and its full of
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
Does resolume keep a backup before a save?
Does it have any autosave feature anywhere?
Did I loose all this work forever?
Do i have any way to make windows come back in time to a state this file is ok?

If the file would be readable as xml, it could be recovered.
lots of 00000000s doesn't sound like that, I'm afraid.
This kind of corruption mostly happens when the disk write buffers are not flushed properly from the OS or disk cache, like a power loss or blue screen.
Can also happen when the OS tries to write to another file sharing the same blocks on MLC SSD-s and the power goes out, destroying all the cell data.
If you have the docs folder synced to the cloud, you might have a version history for the file changes there, you can use to recover an earlier version.
