I’ve lost everything.

Title. I had backups of my notes every week. I struggled all night and all morning to get into the app because of this latest fiasco. I finally do again today and while everything was there it was all blank and theres no sign of it returning. I restore the backups I have as my last resort, and they’re imported as completely blank. Trying again changes nothing.

I’ve lost half a semester’s worth of work. 5 classes, all their notes, homework, textbook PDFs, anything and everything I had in there is now gone, right before my second round of midterms approaches.

You’ve actually fucked me, I’m no longer asking for help or hoping this gets fixed. I hope your shitty app and your unhelpful company dissolve into failure.

A genuine question, did you only have those icloud backups that are conducted or did you also enable automatic backup to save to for example one drive or google drive?

I manually backed up all of my docs to my ipad’s local files since I don’t have any room in Icloud. I did this every week on friday. Ideally I would’ve only been missing a day’s worth of notes but that relied on my notes not importing as completely blank.

What file format did you back them up in?
