I just upgraded Launchbox to v13.15 and everything other than my Windows games are gone

Panicking a bit here. For a few years I've been a happy Launchbox/BigBox user without issue. I just downloaded and installed v13.15, and upon launching Launchbox, all of my games and systems are gone with the exception of Windows. I had about 15 different platforms and tens of thousands of games.

As Launchbox was loading for that first time it said "we've imported 7 games!" -- these are the 7 Windows games I have (via Steam). None of the metadata for these games is still there, like "Additional applications" -- so none of them run correctly.

Also when I launch BigBox, everything looks different -- aside from the fact that I only have 7 windows games listed, the entire theme is just totally different.

It's like something completely reset Launchbox to a clean slate and it imported 7 games as though I was a first-time user. What the heck happened, and is there any hope I can restore the previous state????

whew - i just now discovered the "auto backups on close" and restoring worked like a charm.
