解說
It means "not only ~ but even ~"; the second part is something bigger or more surprising, often with も, まで or さえ. It is often used to pile up bad things, but can also be used for good things. It is less stiff than のみならず but still somewhat written; in conversation, 〜だけじゃなく sounds more natural.
例句

Not only did he forget his homework, he even left his textbook at home.

リンさんは英語ばかりか、アラビア語まで話せるそうだ。

その店員は親切なばかりか、説明もとても分かりやすかった。

注意
The second clause cannot be a command, request or volition (〜てください, 〜よう). It is a different pattern from Vたばかり (just did), so check for か.
