I’m not sure what happened, but my entire vault is empty. I had my vault sync’d to other devices, but they sync’d the change and now all the vaults are empty, is there any way to get my data back?
Hi, I’m really sorry to hear that. But this isn’t enough information to help.
What OS, for each device you were syncing. Syncing how? What syncing tool.
Did anything in particular happen before the data was lost?
Do you not keep any backups?
I did keep backups, but I fixed it by disconnecting a computer from the internet and copying the vault. When I opened obsidian it sync’d and wiped all my files almost instantly. I watched it happen. I then copied the backup I made back into my vault. It seemed to restore everything to all my devices once I rebuilt the vault. I will be better about making backups now that I know this can happen.
Everything seemed to work correctly once the copy was restored. Thanks for getting back with me, but it looks fixed.
I still don’t know why it happened. Still working on that…
What about the questions about OS/device or details about your Obsidian install, or what sync tool(s) you were using.
“it looks fixed”. Not if you have the same configuration as before. It might just be a matter of time until it happens again. Are you mixing 2 different sync tools? That could be a potential cause of data loss like this.
