Files Gone

[allischalmersman]

Ok I didn't post about this the first time.  Now I am getting worried.  I have my really important stuff backed up in other locations as far as pictures but I haven't been as diligent about it as I should.  I will now.  I have roughly 400 MKV files on my server and the same number of BDMV folders.  I have had numerous occurrences of MKV files disappearing.  I don't know when or how but it's gone.  I don't mean just 1 movie, I mean several.  Movies I am 1000% sure I had as MKVs because I have watched them via Plex.  The original BDMV folder is still in the other share, but my MKV share is missing the movie. 

 

What scenarios could explain this?  Data corruption?  Plex does not have the ability of removing the file does it?  I feel like I am being a real idiot here.....   Any help appreciated.

Yes I'm sorry.  I know this is an extremely open ended question.  And I cannot even tell you when the files disappeared.  I could have been months ago when I did a file system conversion but I did all the steps exactly as specified including rsync or whatever the commands were.   I can tell you this is going to light a fire under my behind to do more regular backups. 

 

Diagnostics folder attached.  Sorry I didn't attach it earlier.

I just found a setting in Plex "allow media deletion" and turned it off.  I know I have never deleted anything and I don't know that remote users would have been able to utilize that feature.  It's just strange that it has always been the MKV file missing and never the BDMV.  The only connection I can make is Plex.  Plex has access to the MKV share but not the BDMV share....
