Repeat "from completion date" restored as "from due date"

Hi, I recently restored an xml backup and discovered that all my task that had a repeat from completion date came back as repeat from due date. After looking into the xml file, I don't see where this information can be stored.

I found a similar question in the forum 2 years ago and the answer was that it was not implemented yet. I was hoping that it could have been implemented since.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry. It is still on our to-do list. I'll bump up the priority.

Thank you for your prompt response. This kind of support is one of the reasons I use Toodledo.

I must admit I was suprised to find that the data are not restored in the same state in which they where backed up but I guess with something as complex as Toodledo, these things happen.

Looking foreword for the fix.

Hi,
Any news on the bug of corrupted backups. I'm surprised noone seem interested in having valid backup. I know the topic is not the most popular, but it is nevertheless a crucial one, at least for me. What are the chances of a problem being solved if only one costumer is interested.

We are working on this. The XML backup can already restore 99% of a task's details. It only loses a few tiny bits of information, such as the "completed from" flag. So its not a terrible problem, but we plan to fix it regardless.

I don't want to look unappreciative of the rest of the system but I have to desagree on that. If you have 100s of tasks for an entire department and you have to restore them by hand one by one, it become a terrible problem.

Any other backup system that would be found restoring 99% of the data and only loses a few tiny bit of information, would be out of business in no time.

Yes, AFAIK, this is the first backup system in history to have a flaw. ;)

Common guys, get serious. It may not be the first to have flaws, but a defect that makes a backup system to lose data, is well documented and is still unadressed after over 2 years is a first to me. And juging by the importance/interest that these answers suggest, it won't be fixed any time soon.
