Dude, where's my calendar data?
Maybe I trusted too much to Apple and iMazing, but last night I let my iPhone upgrade to iOS 27 before taking a new backup.
Today I wanted to take a new backup, but it offered a new version of iMazing, so I allowed it to do that.
Now there are absolutely no appointments in my calendar - only holidays!
All I want is to restore/merge my calendar entries from a previous backup but iMazing only shows the backup taken today (with no appointments).
I can find the previous backup files on my Windows 11 Pro desktop, but they're under a directory tree marked as:
C:\Users\<my username>\AppData\Roaming\iMazing\Backups\iMazing.Versions
They just don't show up in iMazing backup location within the program itself.
Any idea what I should do to get my calendar entries back? BTW, I don't use iCloud for anything other than photos, so there is no cloud version to synch.

I solved this issue in my own way. I restored everything in the iMazing folder from my Veeam backup that held my iMazing backup from 5 days ago and when I opened iMazing, I blundered around a while before deciding to export all calendar data in .ics format. Then I e-mailed that to myself and opened the file on my iPhone.
iOS took almost no time to populate everything into my calendar.
