If you have disabled the Steam Cloud, this is how you can keep your progress on your games safe, This will be handy if you ever change computers. You can also save this folder to an external drive/disk/whatever. This is just an extra fail-safe in case the game does a major messup with it's own saves. I give each backup a consecutive number name, so if my most recent backup is defective, I can still use an earlier backup. Now, whenever I exit the game, I can quickly access the game's save folder and copy it to my personal backup folder for the game.

(In Windows 10 I just right click on the desktop and tell it to create a new folder.) I gave it an appropriate title and even changed it's icon to a Torchlight icon. I then created a new, blank folder for my backup saves. I just did a right-click on the folder and chose the option to send it to my desktop (create a shortcut). One folder is the actual game folder that contains the save files. I have placed two types of folders on my desktop for saving my game files. I make my own physical backups of the save files for both Torchlight and Torchlight II. So, if you have not already done so, I would disable the Steam Cloud for this game. I have lost a LOT of characters and stash on Torchlight II due to the Steam Cloud malfunctioning. That might actually be the most recent save, I'm not sure, since I don't usually lose characters from the original Torchlight. I also notice there is a "backup.tmp" file. If your stash wasn't restored when your character was restored you could try doing something similar with the stash file. You will notice that there are also a few "stash.bin" files. Hopefully that will fix the problem and restore your stash as well. Next, move the most recent save (the one you made a copy of) and put it in another safe place. Make a copy of the most recent save and put it in a safe place (this is insurance in case something goes wrong or this suggestion doesn't work).

Open that and find a file that is dated one day or time less recent than the most recent save. Once you find and open it, you will find a file titled "save". Try to find the Torchlight game files on your computer. I've never done this for Torchlight but I've done something similar for Torchlight II. Edit: The suggestions here do not work for Torchlight I.
