unable to restore deleted files

 

Hi all,

Mysteriously, almost all my files were marked as deleted on Nov 10.

Even more troublesome, I am not able to restore them:

sy ls -q -f Documents/Writing/notes.txt
15-11-10 12:51:37 D - rw-rw-r-- --a- 324
bebb4019a7102b29db22f09e5aea672e7cf8c555
2bb567ec43e716af64d33760d44f28c9b21d58dd 2 Documents/Writing/notes.txt

That looks OK, so lets try to restore:

sy restore -t /tmp/notes.txt 2bb567ec43e716af64d33760d44f28c9b21d58dd
Could not restore file. No file by that ID or version found, or file ID
prefix matches more than one file.

Since I am using the full fingerprint here, I don't think there is an ID
collision. I also tried various options for --revision.

Oddly, it only shows a single revision for all the mysteriously deleted
files:

sy ls -q -f --versions Documents/Writing/notes.txt
15-11-10 12:51:37 D - rw-rw-r-- --a- 324
bebb4019a7102b29db22f09e5aea672e7cf8c555
2bb567ec43e716af64d33760d44f28c9b21d58dd 2 Documents/Writing/notes.txt

Any ideas what is going on? It should list more than just version 2, yes?
