Daughter has a Lumia 822 and a Windows 7 notebook. She had separate IE Favorites lists which were always UNsync'd for whatever reason and we paid no attention. She had OneDrive sync'd with her notebook though where I backed up a copy of her notebook Favorites a long time ago.

I recently purchased a Dell 15 on sale from the Microsoft Store and proceeded to configure her Windows 8 profile. Unbeknownst to us, her OneDrive / Desktop Favorites list came down on her Lumia phone, and somehow completely wiped her local Phone IE Favorites.

This similar incident happened to me a little while back with the desktop and phone sync'ing automatically - BUT - I found my Phone Favorites in a folder called Phone so they were just "merged". Unfortunately this same merging did not happen with her.

She has Backup Assistant configured but I'm unsure if it saves IE Favorites. Any advice on where to look or how to retrieve a backup somewhere? Thanks in advance.
