Restoring Zotero library
I made a big mistake while exploring my sync settings and would appreciate any help in how to fix it.
I unlinked my account from my local computer and checked "Remove my Zotero data from this computer". I assumed the data was also stored elsewhere, though apparently it was not. When I re-linked my account to my computer, it restored the files that I added before February 2019, but nothing since. This is the same group of articles that I see in my Web Library.
Fortunately, I have an external hard drive where I backed up my library in July 2022. Is my best option restoring my library from my external hard drive? Or is there any

See restore from a backup. You can then make sure you're set up for syncing and that auto-sync is enabled.
