Probably a loss of about 1000 tabs

I had almost 1,000 cards open, arranged in different contexts.... and several tabs open in a second Opera window.... Today Opera due to Opera running very slow and taking up more than 45GB in RAM, I wanted to restart it(it always helps) But first I closed the main Opera window and then this second window with several tabs. After reopening what opened? Only a few tabs from the second window!!! and restoring the closed tabs didn't help! (shortcut ctrl+shift+t)
What did Opera do?
Closing as the last one this second window with several tabs. Opera deleted the large Session and Tabs file with my 1000 open tabs and replaced them with tiny files containing those few open tabs in the second window! Opera didn't even back up these 2 files or change the extension to .old
Data recovery programs didn't help, they restored corrupted Session files (maybe you know some software to fix them?)
Session Buddy turned out to have forgotten to do a daily save lately, and the last save was a long time ago!
Opera Sync for this replaced my sync, with a new sync after reopening Opera with a few tabs!How to return to the previous synchronization with hundreds of my tabs? Does Opera have a backup on the server?
How to restore nicely arranged contexts?
Why doesn't Opera have an option to export, save all sessions from all contexts?

@cllaymenn Well, having 1000 tabs opened is a problem in itself.
Anyway, closed windows can be recovered by going to Menu > History and checking the list of recently closed tabs or by clicking on the tabs menu.

@leocg The history in Opera is very simple, it only has a list of open pages from today, yesterday... There is no separate category of closed tabs or windows. In addition, Opera's history has bugs and works badly after a few weeks when the history file is 50mb+. History cannot be used.

@cllaymenn Look at menu > history again. You will see a list of recently closed tabs/windows in the menu.
Also there is the tabs menu in the top right.

@leocg So test something like this. But after trying to recover opera from Restore Point, and other operations, this list is empty. I have over 200mb of history saved (Opera can't handle a large history at all and I have to copy the history file to Chrome and it works there without any problem)
- Is it possible to recover open tabs from history file?
2 In what file does Opera save this list of recently closed tabs and windows? Maybe I can find it in Opera's backup directory
