I am sorry to hear of your data loss! Since I am rather new to using Mnemosyne, how do I back up my data regularly? And how often is recommended? Thank you. On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 6:43 AM, Peter Bienstman wrote: > On 11/08/2012 12:28 PM, Oisín wrote: > >> If for some reason, the backup directo

Actually, what I will do for the next version is showing a popup where Mnemosyne backed up your old 1.x data, that should make it even easier. (In terms of code, it's ~/Library/Mnemosyne_1 where ~ is whatever the OS expands your home directory to) Cheers, Peter On 11/08/2012 10:37 AM, Patri
