Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache/2.4.29
PHP version (eg, 7.1):PHP 7.2.24

The issue you are facing: All .mov files on the system are renamed with a -old making the file unusable until it is renamed. The format looks like 18-08-23 13-11-49 1940.mov-wip-e4b16073-old. How can I undo this and how did this happen?

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Yes

Steps to replicate it:

  1. I don’t know its just there

Does this happen when you upload a *.mov file via browser? Is this renaming on the client (with desktop sync client)?

No not that I am aware it happened right after I moved servers. Since I just manually renamed the files I had. Everything seems to be fine now.
