Hello, I have an old wallet in MultiBit, yesterday my computer went offline due to a broken power source and the recent receiving address have disappeared after that.
I had 5 addresses until June, in June i created another receiving address and pushed all BTC from another 5 addresses to a new one. So they were 6 until that accident shutdown. Unfortunately, my multibit home directory contains a backup only until June...
I tried to reset Blockchain and transactions, it does recognize one transaction of 21 BTC to that new address but there is no private key for that address.
Is it a final point or there is something I can do?

Private key backups. In your private key
backup directory you will have files called
'saving-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.key'. Here the
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS is a timestamp. With an
encrypted wallet every time you add or change
the password, add a receiving address or
import private keys an encrypted, timestamped
export of your private keys is created. This is
encrypted with your wallet password. You can
use these to recover the essentials of your
wallet by importing one of these files into a
new wallet.

they are in: saving-data/key-backup

No, you mentioned your "home directory". To my understanding thats /MultiBit. If you have another understanding you might want to share a path.

So you have no file in /MultiBit/NameOfWallet-data/key-backup ?

Thats odd.

Which version did/do you use?

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Am I understanding this right? You have that new receiving address in the wallet but there is no private key to it?

If you open the .wallet with wallet-key-tool does it import only the address (without key) or does it not import the address at all?

Before you do anything please make a copy of the entire folder and also make a copy of any log files you find to a safe location to avoid damaging any files or losing any valuable information that might help reconstructing what exactly happened.

Private keys aren't put in the log file. The OP needs a wallet, wallet backup or private key backup.

I know that. Smiley I told him to check in logfile as there might be some info about the last works in multibit.

Do like this, you may get it:
Go to roaming, multibit, multibit data : you can see roll key backup or something like that( I don't remember the name correctly ) .
