I am using Maya 2014 Educational Version, which crashed when I accidentially hit
"save" two times. I haven't been able to locate a single backup, even though Maya pretends to write a file to disk when crashing.
I checked all available info - as usually Autodesk has no official info on it, so you have to google your way around. And there is nothing ever in any of my documents folder, which made me think it has to be somewhere else. Anyone have experience with 2014 and where on earth it saves its' backups (PC version)? I'd really appreciate the help.
It stopped being funny after Maya first made my file "read only" and actually erased the scene file from my disk when I closed it. That is just a kind of bug that cannot happen.
For the educational version of maya 2014 your crashed files can be found in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp. The name of the file should be your username followed by a string of numbers.

Location would be C:\Users\hp(User name)\AppData\Local\Temp
