I have been trying to save my R environment to load in later sessions (my environment has about 12 data frames).
save.image(file = 'tests.RData')
if I look in my directory, my file looks like data has been saved since the .RData file is about 40MB in size.
Now when I try to load the file in the directory...
load('test.RData')
I get this error:
Error: bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded
In addition: Warning message:
file 'tests.RData' has magic number ''
Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated
I tried looking at previous issues with this, and the only advice was to try load() and source(). However, I believe load() is for .rda/.RData files.
Is there anyway to save my environment and load it properly? What is causing my issue exactly?
