does project server store a local copy of the .mpp files?

Does anyone know if project server stores a local copy (on the server) of
the .mpp files? I think server stores them in the SQL DB, but not actually
as a .mpp file?

We are experiencing a problem with one file on project server. When trying
to open the process hangs up indefinitely. It is not just for one user, but
anyone who tries to open that file. It is a large project schedule that is
critical we do not lose.

We have tried everything we know to do to open the file successfully with no
luck.

Thanks!

No, Project Server does not store files as .mpp files. It stores them as
database files in the SQL Server database. If you cannot open one of your
enterprise projects, you may need to revert to the last good backup of your
database to recover it. Hope this helps.

Dale,

Hey, thx for the quick response. Thx for the clarification. FYI, we find a
cheat around our issue. We imported the project into a master project, saved
a local copy, then deleted the corrupt one from server, then imported the
local version. Dont know what happened, but that is a way around it :)
