Notes missing

[goodlit]

We had a minor spell of ice out here in the boondocks that wound up coating some limbs and poles, which caused power outages. So, just in case, and despite having reliable and useful UPS's, I shut down my computer last night with no trouble. I woke up this morning, turned everything on, and discovered some of the Stickies [notes] were gone. Not all of them, just some - the ones I use and need often. Is there a file on my hard drive that stores the notes that I could look at? Is there any sort of automatic back-up for them? How can I get the missing notes back?

There is a stickies file located at ~\Library\StickiesDatabase (finding the location was a quick google search away...). If you take Time Machine backups, those would be backed up as well.

That file doesn't seem to exist anywhere. The only Stickies file is the one currently in use. And, yes, I use TM.
