Library Lost?!? (Help!)

frankweber

Hi all,

I am afraid I have inadvertently deleted a zotero library and I need a way to get it back!

This is what happened:

a) We upgraded zotero from Version 1 to Version 2.
b) We chose a new local place for the storage of zotero files
c) We got a zotero user and set up a WEBDAV-Place for storing the files
d) Then I clicked on the "sync" Icon in the Zotero Interface
e) And now the library is empty?!?

What happened - Of course I wanted to save the local data on the zotero-server, but it seems the empty-library on the Zotero Server overwrote my local data...?
And when I look in my local place I can find some files, but it looks like there is none of my personal data there..and the WEBDAV-Place is completely empty too.

What can I do? (I know I should have made a backup and all, but this time I didn't)

Is there a Way to get my data back?

Any Help very appreciated,
Frank

It sounds like your library may still be at the old location. See Locating your Zotero library and Where did my items go?

Do make a backup of the stuff at the old location before you change to the new version, though. Just in case.
