@dae will have to check if there is a backup on ankiweb to restore it. It is always best to create your cards on Desktop anyway, since backups are created regularly. @dae, I think this is another case of the situation mentioned on other threads like: > [@I lost my latest cards after a synchronisation](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/i-lost-my-latest-cards-after-a-synchronisation/36299): > > Hi, I lost my cards today after spending all day creating new ones on Ankiweb. I then looked at the Anki app on my laptop to add new ones there, but I could’nt find the deck i had been using all day. Some other decks weren’t there either, which makes me think that the version was an old one. So I clicked on « synchronisation » button, thinking that it would synchronize with Ankiweb and the hundred of cards that I had added today… It didn’t change, the new decks still were absents, so I looke… > [@Wrong syncro, I've lost my cards...

This evening, I tried to sync all my accounts (I tried to sync what I’d done this morning on the Web to my pc, so on DesktopAnki). The result was : I lost all the cards done this morning on the Web and all that was left was the old version I had in my computer. I’ve seen no “backup” option on the web and the backups that are in my computer are the olds ones. I saw in the forum that you could restore a backup from before the web version was… Looks like the one-way sync dialog is not coming up in these situations (creating cards on Ankiweb, or in my case when I connected to Ankiweb from desktop for the first time on a new computer). I’m not sure if this is by design or if it’s a bug though. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/i-lost-my-latest-cards-after-a-synchronisation/36299)._
