When I backup and sync, some data I’m sure I’ve deleted is still visible?

Some points of note regarding the backup & sync process:

  1. After first backup, there’s only ever 1 version of your data, and that’s the last version that was backed up.
  2. The data model is not flat, it’s a tree; relationships between ancestor (e.g. property), parent (e.g. paddock) and children (e.g. site, records, land types) objects inform function and behaviour of apps and data validation.
  3. Despite the number of devices the app is installed on, the system only sees all activity as coming from one user account.

This means there can be conflict situations where a backup can overwrite another backup’s changes due to the data relationships, here’s a scenario:

  • Person A and Person B are working with Account ‘Macca’, and have both synced at the same time and start with the same data.
  • Person A deletes Paddock 1 and backs up.
  • Person B adds 2 Sites to Paddock 1 and backs up after Person A.
  • Person B’s backup will revert Person A’s deletion, because Person B’s version was the last backed up, and for his 2 new sites to exist, Paddock 1 cannot be deleted.
  • As the system sees these actions performed by the same account ‘Macca’, it can’t interpret intent of individual user actions.
