Backups aren't true backups

Anyone · 08-21-2019, 09:39 AM

I'm going to assume that somehow I made the mistake that brought this on, that I accidentally unchecked "enable full coaching system," so all the coaches were released.

But that's what backups are for, right?

But I rechecked enabling it, restored from a backup, restored from an older backup, and the coaches were stil released.

Any way I can get them all back where they were?

And why isn't a backup an absolute snapshot of the game at the time, so I could get them back by rolling back a couple weeks?

I'm pretty desperate here. There has to be a way to get all personnel back to where they were (without going WAY back, which can work). I need to know how.

Just curious when you restored from the backup, did you restore to an entirely new .lg folder?

Yes, it makes you list a new league folder to restore to (mayben just not ine in use). Maybe it would restore to a league folder not the one in use if that would help, and then maybe I should do that.

A problem is one cannot import from a csv file. I could use the database tool to export coaches to a csv file from before the coaches were released, but then there was no way to import from the csv file.

Hmm. I’m not quite sure how to help. My experience has been that backups are real backups, but your experience disagrees with mine.

Do you have a previous backup that works correctly, but is just farther back than you want?

I did have one from way farther back, yes; but it was better to re-assign managers to all the major league teams-- which was a lot of work.
