URGENt: How to Restore...

[Grant]

Hi,

Shockingly, MLO somehow deleted 80% of my folders and tasks today (after using v6 for about a week). 

I do have advanced backup running, and I have the .bak file from yesterday, which is complete.

How to I safely make this my new .mlo file, that syncs with the cloud (and will not wipe my data again, or destroy this back up file (I want to preserve it just in casew this happens again)

The Mlo help only says to open the .bak file and nothing about renaming from the backup title (eg with the date and time added) and from .bak to .mlo safely.  Nor is there a clear description of how to ensure it syncs with your cloud sync and other devices...

Grant,

I recommend restoring the backup, renaming it your MLO file name. Then, make a copy of that as MLO_filename_2. Open MLO filename 1 and sync with cloud and you should be good to go. I just experienced something similar (my fault though as I was configuring with Outlook sync and deleted my whole outline!). I went through the similar process with restoring and renaming and ultimately got everything working with a more limited Outlook sync. I'm running V 6.0.2 MLO.
