I'm afraid not---it was on a laptop that I reformatted and then sold. > The CARDS and STATS.CSV files will be enough to recover some > information.

How long have you been reviewing > cards with Mnemosyne/Mnemododo (i.e., how old was your database)? Thanks for the reply, it's great to get a quick reply from both Mnemosyne and Mnemogogo authors. I had an earlier backup (maybe six months old) of my Mnemosyne home directory, and it looks like I can recover about 300 cards by manually parsing the cards file. So in the end it looks like I'm totally out about 300-400 cards (and apparently the history on the 300 in the Mnemogogo directory, which were generally new so that history isn't really that important). So anyway, it's a pain, but in the end equivalent to losing perhaps a few hours of time.
