Will restoring system image sync old joplin data?

Operating system

Windows

Joplin version

3.4.12

Desktop version info

3.4.12

What issue do you have?

Question: I run joplin on 4 devices, synced between them through dropbox. I image each device about once a month.
If I need to restore a device image, using a perhaps 3 weeks old image, will old joplin data get synced to all devices, overwriting current data?

When imaging on the client side (Joplin on each device) data will not be overwritten on the server if you restore an image on the client side, providing it is genuine image restoration which does not alter file timestamps. It will just download the latest changes from the server when you sync.

excellent. the answer I was hoping for. I wasn’t looking forward to dealing with excluding joplin from images on each device.

thanks.
