Hi,

Bz2 files were the backup files of Mnemosyne 1.x. In Mnemosye 2.x, backup files are *.db files in the 'backups' subfolder of your database, and you can just restore them using 'file - open' inside Mnemosyne.

Mnemosyne by default loads the last database you used, so probably all you have to do is reopen your regular database (not even a backup). Typically this is in C:\users\Amanda\App Data\roaming\Mnemosyne\default.db (The directory is hidden, so you might need to tell Windows to show hidden files).

Cheers,

Peter

Sorry, I did screenshots of the error messages since they wouldn't let me
copy and paste them and it was a lot to type. Tried copy and pasting in my
previous message but that didn't work. I've attached them

Hi, I've been using mneumosyne for a few years and have over 10,000 cards
(super helpful in med school!) I've had some trouble opening my cards
recently though. I tried opening mnemosyne and it kept giving me an error
message. I ended up uninstalling it and reinstalling it and this is what
pops up when I try to open it now:



I have back-ups saved on an external hard drive, and I was looking through
these files to try to figure something out when I found I had saved the
application and could open that one (it's from 2010). I did so delightedly
but it seems to automatically start up with my database from 2 months ago
in September. I tried to open my back-up from yesterday but it's a bz2 file
and when I try to extract it using the Universal Extractor it gives me this
message:



Did I just lose 2 months of data? (I also have a ".CARDS" version that
seems to have been up-dated yesterday, but it's 1,200 KB and the ".CARDS"
back up from 2 months ago is 57,00 KB so I'm wondering if it's any good..
and I can't seem to import or open it in the 2010 application). And if I
did lose that data, am I also now stuck using a 2010 version of mnemosyne?
I can't seem to be able to get an up-dated version to open.

Sorry I seemed to have somehow made quite a mess of this. I'd really
appreciate any help, I really enjoy this style of learning. Thanks,

Amanda
