Huge problem with database!!! Bug !?

[Benny Karlson]

Hi,

Mannage to f-k up my MLO-databas (3000 items),!!???

Did what I have always done (10+ years), used MLO on my Android, my laptop and my desktop PC . All three synced with same file on MLO cloud.

But last week, or more!? I used and syncronized my PC that I havnt used with MLO for the last 1,5 years. And now my database is backdateted with all recuring to that date 18 moths ago, and lost everything that was written in them!!! Also a lot of tasks that was moved suddenley apeared in my inbox again , and probably a lot more... :-( ...  So how is this possible and what have I done wrong, seems like a bug of some kind!!?, and how to fixit? 

(There has disapered things like this before but not so much, and inportant that I bothered to look in to it then unfortunatly, so this not a onetime event...)

Best regards

Desoerate user...

P.S. sync my phone almost every day and my laptop every other week or so... D.S.

I hope you have backups turned on in the desktop version. In General Application Options I found mine is set to keep the last 6 backups so I hope it works for me, because I saw a few people lost their whole thing because of something that should not have caused a problem like upgrading MLO. The only answer was "I hope you have been keeping backups"

I sympathise, I’ve had this happen to me when syncing al old device. It generally adds back in all the items I have deleted or archived in the past. Very annoying.

I find that syncing another device that has synced recently in overwrite remote mode can help. 

These days if I want to sync an old device I delete and reinstall MLO first and then do a new sync.
