Hi there, am new to Syncthing & hope someone can help me as have just completed my first sync & am trying not to panic due to the large number of empty folders I now have. Many of the files which are missing are product image files but also missing are text files, pdfs etc.
My setup is running a laptop & desktop, both on Win 7 pro & the files are missing on both computers.
Any help to recover the files would be much appreciated as many of the missing files are for my business & will be very difficult if not impossible to replace - many are backed up but not necessarily all.
I may have done something terribly wrong, but Im at a loss to know what as many of the folders & their files have synchronised fine & I used the same method of adding folders to the list each time .
I have done a search on the whole of my c drive, on both machines & can’t find any .stversions - no idea if I had versioning enabled, I just followed the getting started instructions & not keen on the idea of opening up the program right now.
Yes the laptop had all the original files & I set up a new, empty, folder on the desktop to receive the sync. as suggested in the getting started I set both up simultaneously, added the various folders to the list to be sync’d & reset in between.
Well, there are ways to recover deleted files on ntfs-partitions. But they are more of a last resort, in case you really don’t have any backup. It’s not easily done though, the first step would be NOT to use that computer anymore for the time being.
