Please do not use the embedded DB driver except when toying around. There should be warning shown in the browser on the bottom-right side if the embedded DB driver is used. We have had reports from people whose server had crashed e.g. due to power loss and they ended up with a corrupted embedded DB and lost all their metadata (user logins, project setups, etc.).
That said, you seem to be having a different issue because the annotations themselves are not stored in the SQL database.

The backup is made if at the time of saving/updating the annotations the interval conditions are met.
The internal backup is an imperfect solution but a practical one.
To ensure your data is safe, it is a good idea to regularly export the data and / or to keep system-level backups of the INCEpTION data folder and the contents of the SQL database.

In principle, you can import annotations to individual user accounts via the remote API.
Did you lose curation data or data from the two individual annotators?
