Summary

Title: Collections and functions data missing, possible bug with database creation Messages: User is experiencing missing data in collections and functions. User asks if backup and restore features are available and if there is a UI button for them. User also mentions a code snippet related to database creation and wonders if it should delete and recreate the same database if it already exists. User suspects that the problem may be related to things being deleted and recreated with the same ID. User discovers that the main database was deleted on a specific date and realizes that the issue may only be visible in the console. User requests access to the activity for their console account.

yes, I created a separate project (still keeping the old one) just to ensure a clean slate, but the same issue happen again on the new project, albeit after a longer period

I have another project used for the hackathon, that is unaffected and everything is still fine for it

Can you share the activity for your console account? You should be able to get to it by clicking the top right drop down > my account > activity

Ok so I think I found the problem....it seems like it has to do with things being deleted and recreated with the same ID

I have this code in my bootstrap script:

try {
  db = await databases.get(process.env.DB_ID)
} catch (error) {
  db = await databases.create(process.env.DB_ID, process.env.DB_NAME)
}

The ENV vars are

DB_NAME=Main
DB_ID=main

I think it shouldn't delete and recreate the same database if one exists, right?

You're fine. It's a problem with Appwrite. I'm working on a bug fix

Did you have a GitHub issue for this problem?

For now they said there will not be cloud-specific features, except if essential
