| | Posted: | | | | I always knew I would never get back my total DB from the online db.
But I just had to test it.
Besides not get back everything I up loaded, I no longer had any Tags and box sets no were nested under their parent profile. This why I maintain multiply copies backed up on external drives, because after over 13 years of collecting the darn shinny things, if I lost my db, I would never rebuild, I don't think I've got that much time left on this earth..
Default Down Loaded
All 19,999 16,405
Owned 18,820 15,336
Ordered 32 6
Wish List 470 433
Misc. 452 421
Great Courses 225 209

But I just had to test it. If you are bored and are very patient, try uploading an empty db and then re-upload your real one (takes some 5 minutes for me so it may take an hour for you) Sometimes the Online-List gets out of sync even with regular uploads. My test: Default Test1 All 1373 1373 Owned 1340 1009 Ordered 1 1 Wish List 32 32 Star Trek 198 198 Anime 133 133 The 331 profiles missing from Owned are the ones in the Custom Collections, the "include in Owned" obviously is not carried over to the test-machine. Tags and Watched-Dates are present however. But there is a reason I put it in the third place on Data Recovery  cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

cya, Mithi The implication of that would be that any profiles in a custom collection, which you do not include in "owned" for whatever reason, would not be uploaded and thus visible for scrutiny on contributions. Seems not quite right to me. Anyone made a test to confirm this? It adds also to the already often made complaint that the "Online Collection" show facility is heavily outdated. IMHO it should show any custom categories (if included in the upload) and offer to let these being seen via checkboxes. | | | Eric

Slight misunderstanding: the profiles are downloaded, and they get sorted into the right custom collection, only the "Include in Owned" switch gets lost. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |
