What issue do you have?
I ran the syncronization, unfortunately I only have a backup from the 16.05.2024. After I ran the backup some of my notes went to the Conflicts (80 o f them) and some of them disappeared from the notebook. I opened DBeaver however and at least some of them are still in the database. How to restore them? How does the updated_time in the notes table work? How can I find the notes that are updated after 16.05.2024?
Actually I think they are also there in the conflicts folder but there's no way to look for them, come on how am I supposed to search just using my eyes through 80 notes
so I don't even know how many of them were deleted I stopped and created a backup then resumed sync and it deleted the 300, maybe when I stopped the backup only 80 were put to the conflict and I can get it from the backup
This is just to share that I too have had a similar experience, and to share what I did INSTEAD of using sync. I do not have a solution to your immediate problem of recovering notes that were deleted by the sync operation.
I am assuming that you tried local filesystem sync. If not, then everything below is probably irrelevant to your problem, please ignore in that case.
A couple of years ago, I too tried synchronizing Joplin locally on my linux laptop, and the sync deleted a lot, but not all, of the notes. However, prior to trying out sync, I had exported all my notes as "raw - joplin export directory" to a location on the disk different from the sync target I used later, so when a good proportion of the notes seemed to have been deleted during the sync, I simply wiped out my Joplin profile, and imported to a fresh profile the notes I had earlier exported.
At that point, I should have opened an account on this forum and reported this experience, but I simply didn't have the bandwidth.
I was then hoping to have local synchronization as a form of continuous local backup, probably you had the same hope. After the synchronization flop, I shifted to using Jack Gruber's Backup plugin. Periodically, I export the notes to a "markdown + frontmatter" format, as an additional step. And I use Deja Dup software to upload the backed up notes as well as the $HOME/.config/joplin-desktop folder to Google Drive.
On balance, for my needs, Joplin remains the best FOSS note-taking software, despite this debacle. However, I do not use Joplin sync - neither locally, nor with other devices or cloud services.
