Another unexpected hitch of my server migration: I created a new private key for my new server in the local folder I share with my #NextCloud instance while it was down, Nextcloud Desktop correctly logged the file creation, but when I restored my instance, it just deleted the file during synchronization. 😕

Been there, done that, lost my files too. I expected to only lose files that weren’t stored locally on any machine between the crash and the last backup. I didn’t expect to lose files that were created during post-crash downtime. Thankfully had the important files backed up via a separate write-only service I run for that exact scenario (for ransomware protection, but same dealio).

@ClickyMcTicker How does a write-only service protect you from ransomware?

Sorry, that was supposed to say write-once, not write-only.

@Andy H3 No dice, it's been deleted clean.
