I don't know - is there one?
It was a new document so I hadn't explicitly saved it anywhere yet. I
restarted Lyx hoping it would offer to recover but it didn't.
If it is saving the work in progress, maybe such an offer could be
made more prominently?

I think LyX is always making those backups, and usually, when it detects
the backup file being newer than the original, it suggests you to open
the backup-file. But when you create a new document, it will temporarily
be saved in a directory depending on your platform and installation,
until you save it to a specific location. So in your case, there may
be a backup of "newfile1.lyx" somewhere around, but I think it could
have been overwritten in the meantime.
