What is the filesize of the .map file?
You can make a backup by just copying the file every once in a while and copy it to a personal folder or something. If you have loads of diskspace you may also want to try snapshots in edit -> preferences.
Finally there could be a .bak file. Maybe you can open that with Radiant.

yes radiant can open a bak file... just go into radiant go to the folder where the .bak file is and type 'yourmapname.bak' because you wont see it in the folder so you just type it in and it loads then go to save as and save it as a .map file but when i had this problem the .bak file had the same thing wrong as the .map file... so im sure the same will happen to you.. sorry.. your gonna have to restart on your map

It may be possible to recover your map since the file size is ok.
Paste the first let's say 20 lines of your .map file down here and we'll see what can be saved.
Wha?

If these are indeed the first lines, I have a very sorry message for you:
None of your world brushes can be recovered from this .map file
To recover what's left, add the following lines at the
top of your .map file:
{
"classname" "worldspawn"
// brush 0
