Collections and functions data are missing out of a sudden

😢

Are you doing any deletes anywhere?

no, I don't

Wait the project id isn't tinyhands-dev 👀 this is a different project than from the original post

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

sure

doh..i think this actually only shows for the console and not for the projects 😣

ok so looks like that main database was deleted on 2023-07-15T15:48:01.845764809Z

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

cool, where do you see that? and what/who is deleting them?

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?

alright

I didn't create an issue for it yet, should I?

It's okay

alright, thank you very much

will this <<backup/restore>> be only available for the cloud ? will there be some button in the Ui for this?

Both

Cloud and self-hosted

Cool, thanks 😊

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