Does anyone know if there is a way to recover your database from online?

Yes, go to where you would normally upload your database in the program. But instead of selecting upload, select download and your online collection will be downloaded, overwriting your current database.

Online -> DVD Profiler Online -> (Username/Password) Next -> (Download radio button) Next -> Next

Though this should only be used as an emergency and regular backups are the best thing to do because your online collection does not contain 100% of your data.

Coverscans yes, you lose them.

But I thought it wasn't true anymore about the personal adjustments to profiles since 3.0? That our whole personal database was uploaded?

You are correct. I use the online to sync up my collection on two machines and all I loose is the cover scans.

That's good to know - I also thought you lost your personal info too when uploading.
So even stuff like location is stored?
