A week ago I accidentally deleted myself as a user in Saris PowerAgent.
I have the latest version (7.4.4) of the software; when I clicked delete I was prompted once "Are you sure you want to delete User?". I hit the enter button in haste and because the default option is "OK," I deleted myself as a user and also deleted two years worth of racing and training data.
Finally today I got around to calling Saris and asked if there's a way to restore the data. Unfortunately, the only way is from a system backup.
All of the user data is stored in a "repository," typically on the c_drive (in windows) under ~/documents and settings/username/.poweragent/repository
Since I do not have a backup of this directory I was unable to restore the data.
If it were up to me, the software would have an additional dialog after the "Are you sure..." question. It would say something like this: "Warning: this action can not be undone. Do you really want to delete user username and all activities for user username?"
I was surprised and disappointed that deleting the user also deleted all of the activities for the user. Saris, I hope you are reading this!
