Files being rolled back on server 2008 R2
- by Gary
I've got a weird situation occurring on my dev server. Randomly, and for no reason that I can see, files are being rolled back to an earlier version!
This has happened twice now - the first time I assumed I'd done something wrong somewhere, restored the file I was after from a backup and gave it no further thought.
The second time, just now, it happened to a folder containing just a few files that I was working on - suddenly all the changes I'd made over the last day or two were gone! (I know, commit more often, ay?).
Thankfully I have a daily backup and so have recovered my files, but I'm very concerned about this and need to understand how and why it's happened.
The only change made between file states is that I enabled sharing on a completely unrelated folder.
I'm developing an app on Railo, which is running on Tomcat.
The code was all fine and in c:\websites\appname. I shared the 'Railo' folder, which is c:\railo in order to allow my IDE access to the logs generated by the app (contained in c:\railo\tomcat\logs) and when I reloaded the app, the code was reverted to a few days ago!
I'm at a complete loss here. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
