#632 Entire collection disappeared - How to re-import from backup?
Entire Collection of 300+ cards turned into 1 card - GLITCH. Hello. I have been using this program throughout the day, and have opened and closed it several times with no issue. I had about 300 cards in my collection, and after hitting one of the right-click options (I can't remember what the option was), all my cards disappeared. I closed the application and re-opened it, and I now have 1 card. I have closed and re-opened several times and it appears that my entire collection is gone. I've reset all the filters and the program still says my collection consists of 1 card. I looked into "importing" the cards back, but I don't know where the backup is and don't know how to go about getting the cards back. They were backed up and I have avoided pressing "backup" for now so as not to backup the 1 card collection. Where did the cards go and how do I pull from that backup I made? Where is the backup saved? Please help!

If you open Window->Preferences it should have Magic Assistant properties and File Location on the left it has location of backup. Cards stored in xml, restoring from backup means you can unzip it on top of existing workspace
I added instructions on how to restore from backup at the bottom of FAQ
