No... the notes are completely gone.  It happened again today, as a
matter of fact.  I had one note open for today's work log, and one
opened with notes from a meeting I had this morning.

System crashed, when I rebooted and opened Tomboy up again, BOTH notes
are gone.  I looked in .local/share/tomboy and they simply are not
there, nor are they in the backup directory.

I must now look for a replacement for a tool I've used for over two
years now.  :(  I can not use a tool that causes data loss like this.
I've completely lost my to-do list from two meetings which is worse than
losing my daily log, which I'll need for a status meeting tomorrow. :(

Title:
  Tomboy lost notes (Data loss) on crash.

Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had a kernel crash today (I'm running a test kernel for the kernel
  team to sort out some issues I noticed that are not related to this
  bug).

  I had tomboy running as I use Tomboy daily for keeping notes on my
  work for the day.  I had three notes open.

  1: yesterday's work log
  2: today's work log
  3: notes from a meeting I had earlier this week.

  the only one of those notes that were NEW was today's work log.

  The kernel crashed, forcing me to power cycle the machine to reboot.
  After booting to a more stable kernel, I re-opened Tomboy and
  discovered that my three notes were completely gone.  Missing as
  though they had never existed.  There's no hint of them at all in
  .local/share/tomboy

  because of this, I lost all my notes from my meeting, meaning lost
  work and lost time.  They have also apparently disappeared from U1.
  It seems as though tomboy synchronized and deleted the server side
  copies as well.  I do not delete notes myself.  I have status notes
  going back to 2010 when I first started using tomboy.
