Yesterday, I was making some cards on AnkiWeb using my iPad. Today, when I opened the Anki app on my Windows 10 PC, a message appeared saying something like, “There has been a conflict between the files on AnkiWeb and the Anki app. Would you like to upload the information from AnkiWeb to your PC or upload the information from your PC to AnkiWeb?”
Unfortunately, I accidentally selected the option to upload the information from my Anki app to AnkiWeb. The problem is that I didn’t have the new cards I made yesterday on my PC, so now all the cards I created yesterday on AnkiWeb have disappeared.
Please, please, I really need help with this. Is there any way to roll back or restore the previous state of my AnkiWeb server before this sync?
Server-side backups are made much less frequently than local backups on your device. Looking at the AnkiWeb account connected to the email address you used to post here – the most recent server-side backup of your account was made on/at [click for timestamp in local timezone]. But I don’t know if that was “yesterday” for you, or whether it was before or after you created those notes.
If you want me to restore that to your AnkiWeb account, please confirm. It will overwrite whatever is currently in the account, so make sure you have that preserved first. If you need to merge your local collection with that collection, see: Syncing with AnkiWeb - Anki Manual .
Yes! It would be a huge help if you could restore the latest server backup. I’m really hoping that some or all of the cards I made yesterday are still there.
Thank you so much for your help. I’ll be waiting for your update!
Thanks again!
Okay, I’ve restored that to your account. Make sure you select download from AnkiWeb on your next sync.
