Ok, as of today, it seems there's some new code on the server. While I don't know specifically what they're doing, it seems as if they're checking the time of your game to see if it's newer than when you last left. So if you go back to a backup save, the server sees that it has less time or whatever than when it last saw you. Then it can "fix" your save which it says there's a problem with. The fix is it deletes everything you had. Yep, everything. All of your items.
While I understand Sega is trying to stop the people from copying items, you can't say "ha, stupid duper, he lost all his stuff, good." Because I've already seen innocent people who didn't do anything wrong lose things because of the game's poor save system, then try to go to a backup save, causing them to lose everything they had. I have one friend who lost everything, then after that it said his save was corrupted, and he even lost his character. Which would be ok if he could go to the backup save he had. But he can't do that anymore. And I know a friend of a friend who also lost all his items for the same reason.
Good for Sega for trying to stop people from copying stuff. Go Sega. (Sarcasm there, if you couldn't tell.) If they're going to fix it so that people can't cheat, good for them. But if they're going to do it at the cost of screwing over people who did nothing wrong, then they should seriously reconsider their anti-cheat methods. And remember, none of you will be able to back up your characters either. So I hope you're not too attached to them.
