More than half of my notes disappeared

Support

Hi,

I've recently discovered that over half of my notebooks have disappeared from Joplin. Since these are journal entries, I remember certain sentences and phrases and have found that they still exist in some form in .md files in my OneDrive sync by downloading the files and running:

grep -rni "EXAMPLE SENTENCE" *

Yielding multiple query results in files which look like:

I have come across the following errors in the log file:

Error: An error occurred in the data store.
    at OneDriveApi.oneDriveErrorResponseToError (/tmp/.mount_JoplintIS9a1/resources/app.asar/node_modules/@joplin/lib/onedrive-api.js:124:28)

I also have many repeated errors of the following format:

I would really like to recover the notebooks for those journal entries as they are sentimental and I know the data is there.

My logfile is too big (26MB) and I can't share a link.

How can I go about debugging this and recovering my notebooks?

Thanks in advance.

Does this error provide any additional information (e.g. a stack trace)?

Error: An error occurred in the data store.
   at OneDriveApi.oneDriveErrorResponseToError (/tmp/.mount_JoplintIS9a1/resources/app.asar/node_modules/@joplin/lib/onedrive-api.js:124:28)

Also make sure the date/time on the device is correct! An incorrect date/time on one or more devices has been known to cause sync issues.
