My thanks to Pierfrancesco Caci who e-mailed me directly (I am on the digest) with an explanation of how xlog handles multiple logs and also how the 'hide' and 'show' choices function.
With my normal backups and some careful pruning of my log during the contest, I was able to restore the missing entries in just a few minutes. I do have about 170 QSOs that will need minor QSO data added to them. Pierfrancesco also took the time to expand on the utility of multiple logs and his personal backup scheme. I plan to increase my backups to once weekly. And, yes, I just did a backup. Again thanks. cln WB5BKL Lake Buchanan, Texas > >>>>> "WB5BKL" == WB5BKL <[email protected]> writes: > > > WB5BKL> Running xlog 2.0.3 During a recent contest, I decided to > WB5BKL> 'hide' several columns that I knew I would not have to > WB5BKL> deal with immediately: QSLOUT, QSLIN, POWER, and OTHER. > > WB5BKL> When I used the log editor to 'show' those entries again, > WB5BKL> all of my data in those columns had vanished - for all of > WB5BKL> my ~4K log entries.
