[Solved] Backup files for jdownloader beta version

[Matts76]

I think I accidentally deleted a couple links from my downloader list. I would have to go back about two weeks to find it but the backup files in the cfg folder only show for a couple days. Are they stored elsewhere?

@Matts76: I'm sorry but JDownloader uses Copy-on-write to store the lists. It will create a new file on disk and if that was successfully, it will delete the oldest one on disk. That way issues during saving won't make you loose your list. see https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...nkgrabber-list
In case it just happened, then STOP everything and go to your cfg folder and lookout for downloadListXXX.zip or linkcollectorXXX.zip file that have a plausible timestamp from before your *accidental deletion* and create a backup/copy of it. then you can drag/drop the file into JDownloader
and try to restore your deleted links. Because of copy-on-write, you may be able to find older files with help of undelete tools within your cfg folder.

Thank you. Not a big deal
