Rule #1: Perform regular backups Rule #2: See Rule #1 Sorry for the semi-snarky response, but it is a good set of rules and will save you time and heartache when things really go wrong ;) When I'm working on File-01.xcf, after an hour or two of work I do "Save As" and name that "File-02.xcf", and so on. And there are plug-ins in the registry that automatically make incremental backups. My first guess as to the the cause of the corruption is hardware. A full or failing disk, corrupt RAM, etc. Or I've had issues with saving to flaky shared storage. The prognosis is not good if it's any of these. What version of GIMP are you using (see "Help->About")? What operating system? Are you saving to an internal hard drive, or external storage? Can you post a link to the XCF online somewhere?
