Hi,
To restore from a backup, just open it as you did earlier. No need to
resave it as 'default', this is done automatically.
I will make the dialogs a bit more clear in that respect.
Cheers,
Peter
PS: it never hurts to have a backup on a different drive as well :-)

Hi!
While I was using Mnemosyne, my computer overheated and shutdown (it has been a
recurring problem, but I can't afford a new computer right now). When I turned
it back on, I opened Mnemosyne and it behaved strangely, displaying those
windows it shows when it is updating. Then, it created new files on my desktop
- apparently, a new database and its media folder - while opening a very old
version of my deck - about a month old - with over 1,000 cards missing. I have
had those shutdowns with mnemosyne before, but never with data loss (it would
keep even the cards I had just created).
So I looked on Mnemosyne's folder for a back up, and fortunately, there is one
that minimizes data loss. I can open it as usual, but when I try to save this
file directly from Mnemosyne, it displays the following message:
An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "mnemosyne\pyqt_ui\main_wdgt.pyo", line 168, in file_save_as
File "mnemosyne\libmnemosyne\controllers\default_controller.pyo", line 584,

WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified:
u'C:/Users/Marcei/Application
Data/Mnemosyne/backups/up2-20130114-184734.db_media\\*.*'
Should I simply copy that file that has most of my data and rename it to
"default.db" since Mnemosyne won't allow me to directly save it or is there
something else I need to do first?
Sorry for the long message,
P.A.
