Whatever you sent in that link it's not accessible without a gmail account.
Check the directory where you were saving your files - there should be a few of them with numbers added to the file extension.

Sorry, there is a file with the same name ending with "1" but when renamed, it could not be opened.
I do not know what is meant by "commit" in this case!
in all cases, this is a file which contains 3d models of parts and drawing. the problem is when my computer went in sleep mode, after waking it up, the freecad is freezed, and the file could not be manipulated and displayed an error in ..../temp/.... folder related to technical drawings. Then closed the software by force and reopened, then the file could not be opened.

Ignore the commit - that was just for my knowledge.
I'm not a specialist, but:
1. Start FreeCAD from console
2. Open the file
3. Any errors in the console?
What do you mean the file could not be opened? Nothing happens? Errors? FreeCAD freezes?

Just to make sure: whatever you try, do it on copies of the file!

This is relevant for the backups you're expirimenting with too (file name with a number at the end)!

It's of course too late now, but I recommend to set the number of backups to a ridiculously high number, especially for newbies is 10 or 20 a good value. And save often.
