refresh/one-way-from-server/client are also supported. Their use is
discouraged because the direction of the data transfer depends
on the role of the local side (can be server or client), which is
not always obvious.
em.. but sync-ui produces exactly sync=one-way-from-server . A bug?
In your config, "server" is the local side, because it's the SyncML
server. I know, this is confusing, which is why the values were
renamed.
What you want is "one-way-from-remote".
Thanks a lot, it worked as expected.

Did you accept to do a slow sync?
Emm. Not sure, that was a couple of weeks ago.
That's the fallback when an incremental sync cannot be done. See my
recent discussion with Lukas on the list about "one-way sync" and how
"one-way-from-*" isn't really a permanent one-way setup.
The solution for that is the "local-cache" sync mode (implemented in
the
"pim" branch). The "local-cache" mode will keep a local copy of the
data
in sync under all circumstances, including unexpected slow syncs.

No, the reason is elsewhere, see above.
Ok, thanks for help.

SyncEvolution also has a builtin backup mechanism that you could have
used. "I feel lucky" also works outside of Google.
I still can't find a note how to _restore_ from this backup.
