I was working on a php project for 3 months while typing codes in notepad++ (n++) It closed it self, And when I reopened it, The document was empty and I had to rewrite the codes from scratch. what’s going on?
I don’t know if it has happened to you too!!!

Do you save your work periodically?
N++ have an option of automatic backup (Preferences -> Backup).
However, you better organize your own.

For code I prefer using some kind of source control - separate database, history if you submit frequently, code sharing if relevant.
In case, possible, you can use some remote source control - this will ensure that disk failure do not make big damage.
For text documents you can use services like “Dropbox”, “HDrive” etc.

I have started using sublime text, it is very nice and no such errors i would recommend you to use it too, it has never disappointed me as notepad++
