Default lost links (LinkGrabber)

I do not know why, but I lost links (Linkgrabber) when running jd2 :( I do not have a backup. I have not had such a situation for a long time.
How to restore?
Is there still a chance to restore?

There are several links, you can check them and choose which one to retain.

Unfortunately, I have outdated zip.backup files from February and I want to have the latest from March.
I do not know why, once every few months or longer, my list is removed, even though I did not remove it.
Is this a problem with JD2? Can you check the logs, what caused the problem of removing the list, some error?
Can such errors be detected? I know that many users had a similar problem. How to increase the number of backup copies?

24.03.18 16.21.33 <--> 24.03.18 16.28.43 jdlog://1070654433151/

Please check the debug log for what reason my links from LinGrabber have been removed without my intervention (I did not choose Delete!!!)

Either you've deleted them by accident or there has been an issue with loading the file (will trigger creation of auto backup of file).
Log does not contain any error

Accidently? You are kidding! I did not delete any links, even there was no confirmation.
It did not create any BACKUP file. Last is from February, where is backup from March. I honestly ask. There is nothing !!! That's not true. Why is there no error? This is not possible, or the logs does not contain the necessary data to identify the problem. I updated jd2, after reboot I see that all links have disappeared and this is not the first time in my history, I guess that many users had a similar problem.

Why should there be an error in log, when the log started with empty links. Log only contains those sessions you've checked in log dialog.
And depending on your settings, you can delete links from linkgrabber without any confirmation dialog. Check Settings-Advanced Settings-GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.rlywarnlevel and set to HIGH
JDownloader only created backups in case loading of linklist failed.
By default JDownloader keeps last 5 states of list on disk, GeneralSettings.keepxoldlists

I'm sorry but JDownloader uses copy-on-write to store the list. That means save current list to new file, and delete the oldest one. either list is complete and working or list is incomplete/broken which results in auto creation of backup file and JDownloader will try previous list. Deletion of links only happen with user interaction.

My large archives have been replaced or overwritten with small archives, which is associated with a complete loss of archives, even if it uses the best file recovery program without the expected results. These archives can not be seen. JD2 did not create anything except obsolete backups that do not contain all the links I used on March 24, 2018.
I only deciphered mvpdj.com but I noticed immediately that I have an empty list of links, it could not easily remove a large number of links, unless there was a hidden error "Out Of Memory" or other factor which for which reason replaced the archive damage to empty.
My settings: Store up to 2 archives.

Actually, .backup is not a backup, we should read it as .broken.
Your settings: Store up to 2 archives, means you have only 1 "backup" which is the zip with lower number. Next time when you lost links, don't do anything except find that zip with lower number and save it first. Then remove the empty zip so it will use that zip with lower number.

Increase GeneralSettings.keepxoldlists if you want. Default is 5
With only 2 archives, then you will only have 2 chances to undo accident deletion
Or set Advanced Settings-GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.rlywarnlevel to HIGH

I repeat that before this situation I did not have any backup archives.
I only had 2 small size folders. My archive should be about 50 MB, but it was not. So JD2 immediately delete 2 archives (~50MB), and it should not be like that.

I have a Normal setting (but I emphasize that it was the default setting). I did not change anything, only future updates changed this setting without my intervention. So it's the developer's fault that he changed this setting in future versions of JD2, because in the old version the default setting was HIGH.

You set to keep only 2, so JDownloader will only keep 2.
If you want more, then setup more.

default value is NORMAL and I told you that JDownloader does NOT always ask for confirmation. Set to HIGH if you want to always see confirmation dialog
