Hey! I accidentally performed a one-way Upload to AnkiWeb from an old computer on August 24, 2026 at approximately 11:50 PM EDT. I had not used this computer since July, so its collection was outdated. I mistakenly selected Upload when I intended to get my current AnkiWeb collection onto this computer. The primary computer I used had about three months of Miledown MCAT review progress, but it has been shipped for repair and is expected to be wiped clear. After the accidental upload, my AnkiWeb collection now reflects the outdated collection from my old computer. I stopped syncing after realizing what happened.
Could you please check the most recent server-side backup available for my AnkiWeb account from before the accidental upload? Thank you in advance!
I’m looking at the account connected to the email address you used to post here. The most recent server-side backup was made on 22 August. Please confirm if you want me to restore that to your account.
Yes, please restore the August 22 server-side backup to my account. Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
I’ve restored that backup. Be sure you select download from AnkiWeb on your next sync. This will overwrite the local collection you currently have. If you want to merge the collections, you’ll need to preserve that local collection before syncing, and then merge them after – see Syncing with AnkiWeb - Anki Manual .
It’s likely that your account currently has the media for both the older and newer collections. Once you have your collection downloaded/merged/looking like you want, run Tools > Check Media > Delete Unused Media to clean up anything that is not needed.
It worked! Thank you so much for your assistance!
