Got it, thanks!
One more thing I just realized: I have a PDF heavy database on my Mac, which I DO sync to my iPad. And then I have another VIDEO FILE heavy database on my Mac, which I DON’T sync to my iPad (because of storage reasons). Nevertheless, both databases are affected by my changes from yesterday evening. So this leads me to the conclusion, that I first should apply the CCC backup (to repair all databases), and then apply the “iPad backup” as you suggested, to also get the latest wanted changes?!
If yes, should I first apply the CCC backup as you described here? Restore Backup - #6 by BLUEFROG
