Hi
I was stupid enough to "touch a working system". I wanted to test ermnig for syncing to google.
What a mistake.
I made a backup first, to make sure.
Then I tried ermnig. It of course screwed up, destroyed my calender and deleted all my contacts. As I almost suspected.
With a mild sigh I thought "okay, lesson learned" and just did a "restore" from the backup I had done only minutes earlier.
IT BLOODY DOESN'T WORK!!
Some form of contracts came in, but
- not any contacts I had merged into one
- some were missing
- all contacts on the desktops were gone
- as were a bunch of other widgets, randomly
In short - a complete disaster, and the contacts I had so preciously backed up - GONE.
I have looked into the contacts db files in the Backup directories. They *appear* fine. The data *appears* to be there, but loading it back in - nope. Just crap.
Help? Anybody?
*sad*
