If you synchronized to a backup file, it replaces your entire library with what is in the backup file essentially. So if the setlist was blank or didn't exist in the backup file, it would be removed. Or if the songs referenced in the setlist were not in the backup file, it would remove those songs from the library.

My suggestion to restore the database backup will bring everything back as far as the setlists and other data in the library. However, if any PDFs were deleted as a result of synchronizing to the backup file, those files have to be replaced. That's what I was trying to help you resolve, but it will only matter if there are missing files (after restoring the database backup, check for missing files under Settings->Other Settings->Find Missing Files).

You have to have copies of all of the files that are missing. So you need to copy them from that location into the storage location. The synchronization you performed may have deleted files, so they can't be recovered unless have another valid backup file that has all those files in it.

I think I understand. Once I restore the database, there is no going back, correct? And there is really truly no way to undo the action I took? Perhaps it should have a warning like the database backup does, so no other computer illiterates will fall into the same trap.

My extremely computer literate husband thinks I backed up right over my files that I was trying to back up, so it ended up eating it's own tail. He understands what you are saying, and can't imagine how I could do what I did. So maybe no one else would need a warning.
