Last time, I've discovered the disappearance of the lines 9 days later. I make daily backups, so I've used the diff between backup of 9 days ago and 8 days ago, to restore my file. It's annoying, because it's a very big file, with all things that I need to remember. About 20k lines. And about 300 lines have vanished... I would really like to understand, how this could happen...

There are no timestamps... Best, -- Peter
