Hi,
I noticed the latest betas have the automatic backup system and you
can manually modify the number of backup copies in the settings. It's
awesome!
Yesterday I wanted to make use it and substitute one of my deck
with its previous copy because quite a few of the latest answers were
wrong. But the task turned out to be not so easy as I originally
thought. Actually, I was befuddled where I need to tap to get
access to the archive and, frankly, I’m still confused. Could anyone
help me with the problem?
Also I searched for the forum to find the answer to my issue and
found the thread where Norbert suggested exactly what I need:
http://groups.google.com/group/anki-android/browse_thread/thread/8b81f8f071d60c6f/27b5fafa14707da5?lnk=gst&q=backup#27b5fafa14707da5
Is the feature implemented and I’m simply too stupid not to find what
is laid on the ground, or it is still in the todo list?
Cheers

Hi Edawdler,
we implemented the restoring feature mainly to restore broken decks if
they get broken. In this case, a possibility to restore decks will be
shown. Effectively, we'll have to implemente a normal restore routine.
But that's not a problem for you. Just go to the directory in which
all your decks are stored (probably /sdcard/AnkiDroid) and you'll find
a directory "backup" there you find all your backups. Just remove the
date-information from the deck name and copy it in your main folder.
Cheers!

Thank you, Norbert!
Worked like a charm. You rock!
Actually, I played with the automatic display feature when a
sleazeball distracted me with his hype. I forgot to close the deck
and a bunch of cards turned failed. Now it’s OK.
Cheers!
