Hi so i have lost some of my cards. I think it happened after i synced my ankidroid. I mostly do it on laptop. So when i synced it this afternoon on my phone, i couldn’t find the cards i created (to be more specific, took me hours to create) It’s no more there. If my memory serves right, i synced the ankidroid to ankiweb. Please tell me there’s some way to retrieve the lost cards pleeeeeeaaaassssseeeee 
im literally crying and blaming it on my stupidity and guilt tripping and spiralling as i type. Please somebody help. I tried restoring to previous back ups but that didn’t work as well or maybe idk how to do it properly 
im folding my hands and asking any kind hearted soul to please help me as the cards are for my exams next month:folded_hands:
thanks in advance
I tried the restore to previous back up thing, but it’s not working. At this point, im really anxious
What exactly is not working? Describe what you are doing and where you encounter problems.
Ok so im restoring to a previous date. And still those cards are missing
Try newer backups. By default, AnkiDroid backs up your collection multiple times a day. Have you checked the newest ones?
I did. Ok let me see the desktop backup
If you created the cards in your laptop, then yes you should check the backups there.
Yes it did work. Thank you so much:folded_hands:
Glad that you recovered the cards. From now on, sync before and after you open Anki (in any device). And make sure Anki is taking regular backups at specific time periods.
If it was me creating thousands of cards like you, I’d literally sync every time I create a hundred cards. I’m cautious because last year I just left my home for some time and my device itself got stolen. Lost a ton of cards and review data. It’s always good to be a little cautious.
I willll. Thank you so muchhhh. Literally just got my life back now
