Restored hard drive to an image from 2 months ago; Sync assumed I deleted all my work since then and
After doing some software testing, I restored my hard drive to the image I made back at the start of February. "No problem," I thought. "Logos will restore all my notes and layouts when I log in again."
Curious: it did restore my layouts and bookmarks. But my devotional notes for the last several weeks have vanished. Is it possible that Sync concluded I had deleted all those notes, and so therefore did likewise in its database?
This raises another curious question: Surely there's a limit to how much Logos will store on its servers for each user. Some prolific writers could have several book's worth of notes -- will Logos faithfully save them all?
[Note to anyone from Logos who might see this: the last note I now have is from 2 Samuel 23:1. There should be notes on each pericope from there until the end of 1 Kings 4.]

Sigh... sorry for the false alarm. Moderators, please feel free to delete this thread.
Once again, the answer is to simply have patience. The second time I used Logos, everything was fully restored.

This thread may be useful others, so I'll leave it around.

Bruce, I have restored to a previous image so many times I can't count!
I'm on the beta prog and ever few weeks...I restore, update to the latest beta then resave a restore point...
This keeps my machine clean...and up to date...

If I could understand better what happened and why, that would help explain things.
1) Some things were synchronized the first time Logos ran: bookmarks and layouts at least.
2) Entering the "sync now" command produced no result.
The combination of these two is what led me to believe the rest of my data had been lost.

There is a bug reporting a failure to sync bookmarks (unconfirmed) and I will add this to a new bug report.

Possible cause: The version you had as a backup copy (4.0a ?) may have pre-dated the latest version which allows 'notes', so after restoration, it may have needed to run though an update cycle (to 4.0b) before it could bring back your notes.

Notes were available in 4.0a & it should sync even if the db schema was updated in 4.0b & the Server??
