Could you please provide more details about the type of back-ups you have and what exactly isn't working.

ercanturkmen

Sure, but I can't remember exactly.Because it's been a year.188BET靠谱吗As far as I remember, when I was in the Zotero program, I took a backup by selecting files - export and selecting notes and pdfs.

188BET靠谱吗Now I reinstalled Zotero and I click import but I don't know which file to choose.

Can you reach me on Whatsapp?We can examine it in more detail.

If you exported everything to the device you formatted then you lost it.

@fmuroNo, I saved it to my hard drive after exporting.After formatting, I restored the files from my hard drive to the computer, but I can't.Please contact me on Whatsapp today and let's solve it :(

Support happens here.
188BET靠谱吗A preferable Back-up would simply be the Zotero folder from your harddisk before formatting.Do you have a full hd backup, e.g.via Timemachine?

188BET靠谱吗If not, the export file to open is the .rdf File in the folder Zotero generated during export

Hello there,

I said so because it would be easier to share pictures and instant communication via Whatsapp.It's okay, I'll continue from here.

188BET靠谱吗I manually copied the Zotero files I backed up to my hard drive.My files are in the picture in the link.
