Lost an old deck after a one way sync

Hello,

I didn’t understand the one-way sync option I selected on the Anki iPhone App. I deleted/overwrote the custom made deck I poured a lot of time into on my computer (I only use Ankiweb on my computer)

Can I get this deck restored? I saw another post on this forum where an admin was able to restore someone’s ankiweb collection

Thanks!

To start with, if you have an AnkiWeb account, you’ll need to add the email address you use for that to your Forums profile here (as a secondary/alternate address). I can’t tell you anything about your account until I know what it is.

Hello, I just added my AnkiWeb account email (.....198@gmail.com) as my alternate email address on my Forums page here. Is there anything else you need from me?

I’m able to see your account now, thank you.

Server-side backups are made much less frequently than local backups on your device. The most recent server-side backup of your account was made on 20 August, so it wouldn’t have captured any changes you made to your collection more recently than that. There is no other way to recover more recent changes that were overwritten.

I don’t know why your collection required a one-way sync, but those messages are very important and should be handled carefully – especially when you have un-synced changes on AnkiWeb.

On a computer, you might be much happier using the full desktop version of the app, which would also help you avoid this situation. Anki - powerful, intelligent flashcards
