Cache question -- John Guin?

This may be for John Guin -- I've been following your blog. Some time back
you posted that you lost access to your "real" notebook and were working
exclusively in the cache. Then I think something happened to your real
notebook.

I was just in a situation where I was offline but I told OneNote to "move"
the notebook. That is, I right-clicked on the notebook and chose
"properties" and changed the location. OneNote then recreated the notebook,
it didn't seem to need an original copy.

Was this a different situation?

Just to be clear:

1) I was not connected to the network location where the notebook resided
2) Even though i wasn't connected, I told OneNote to "move" the notebook's
anyway
3) OneNote actually created a new notebook in the new location.

My conclusion is, you can lose a notebook and you can lose the backups. If
you are "living in the cache" (so to speak) you have a way to recreate the
notebooks -- tell onenote to move them, and it will regenerate them!

This should be the PREFERRED method of lost notebook recovery -- there is no
loss of information since the last backup. I can disregard the old
notebook if I ever find it -- it is always outdated compared to the cache.
If you don't have the cache, or if you delete something unintentionally, then
the backup notebooks become preferred.

This of course doesn't apply to Notebooks that are updated by multiple
users.
