Backup Question

Post by AlfredPrufrock »

Hey all,

A quick question about the backup feature.

I recently switched from Sente to Bookends, and am thus far still trying to learn all the features. Whilst attempting a bulk edit on all of my references today (around 2,200 in total), I accidentally deleted them all.

Now, I have a backup of the database, and the PDFs are still synced on iCloud. However, whenever I try to open the backup, it immediately wipes all the references again. How do I stop this and essentially return things to before I hit the delete key?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Are you using the latest version of Bookends? If it's a Critical issue with Cloud Sync - it was fixed in v13.0.4.

Thanks for the reply, Serge. Yes, I'm using the most recent version (13.0.5 - updated yesterday).

Did you clone the library from the cloud? FIle -> New Library -> Download From the Cloud?
