While syncthing is excellent and I use it backup photos from my phone to my private cloud, it can sometimes glitch and delete files. I haven't got to the root cause yet, so I can't tell you what to do, but there's a way to recover your data in case of accidental deletion by syncthing. Make sure you enable "file versioning" on both your clients and server. I use the "trashcan" option. So in case a file is deleted, syncthing saves it in a folder for a pre-selected number of days instead of deleting it.
- kyrofa 3y agoYikes. Nextcloud used to do that to me. I'd love to find an alternative, but I don't want to go back to those dark days.
- karlicoss 3y agoFWIW, never happened to me with Synching, but either way it's best to separate sync software and backup software. Sync might work flawlessly, but the user might make a mistake which would quickly wipe the files across all devices. I use borg for backups, highly recommend
