Nextcloud version 27.0.2
Operating system and version: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS / Linux 5.15.0-82-generic x86_64
Apache or nginx version: Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)
PHP version 8.1.2

The issue you are facing:
Running Nextcloud server on my home Ubuntu Server PC I have configured an external storage on a 2ed HDD that are synchronized with my LT.
Accidently I have deleted some files from a specific folder in which where immediately deleted synced with the server and from some reason does not show in the web interface ‘Deleted Files’ (looks like the ‘Deleted Files’ store only removed files from ‘Local folder’).
I have full Nextcloud backup of “/var/www/html/nextcloud /mnt/cloud/nextcloud/data /tmp/Nextcloud-mysql.bak”

Is there anyway to recover those files?

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

Steps to replicate it:

  1. create external folder
  2. delete files

Do you mean External Storage as NC defines or do you simply mean an external drive mounted in your OS and used as your NC configured datadirectory? How is it configured in NC? As an External Storage mount type Local?

That depends on your answer to the above. It sounds like you have your main NC datadirectory (data) backed up, but if you’re truly mounting your 2nd drive as a Local External Storage mount then you’ll also need to backup up that drive. So it depends on whether you have that drive backed up too. :slight_smile:

Thank you for the answer.

The extra hdd configured in settings->administration->External storage.

What I found in the Nextcloud backup file is only latest changes of some of the files :frowning:

Now I am aware that all that time I had users recycle bin is not fully effective and I had no users data backed up (except of the hdd raid)… not sure what the use of the Nextcloud backup if this is the case.

Anyway, I am still very happy with Nextcloud capabilities and speed of responsiveness and it is good thing that it was found out now before a bigger disaster might happen.

My question here is if any other place I might find to recover my resent folder deletion from? Is SQL store some backup of latest changes?

I might be wrong on this, but I believe the trash bin is not supported for external storage.

thanks for the answer also I can’s see the logic on this… to whom it should be posted for considering to fix this in some future release?

Hey Ddy,

You can post a feature request on the github repository.

Also, I believe the reason for this is due to the way NC trash works. When you delete a file from local storage, NC moves that file from the “username/files” folder (mapped to the users NC root) to the “username/files_trashbin” folder. Due to this there is no real technical way to reproduce this behavior for external storage. The only way to even come close to this would be to move the files from the external storage to the local storage. Which would cause a host of other technical issues,
imaging a user deleting an external folder with 50GB of data, that data would need to be downloaded to the internal storage, then what happens is the local storage runs out of space during the download process.

Tx for thw info.
As a sw engineer I believe that everything is solvable…
it can be an user configurable option, it can set a warning when an about to delete object cannot fits the bin and so on.
I believe that i am not the first (and certainly not the last) one that lost important data while using the wonderful Nextcloud

Hey @Ddy,

You can certainly make that feature request. But I don’t think you will get anywhere with it. From what I have noticed, most of the coding effort is going in to internal/external object storage (S3), which natively supports things like trash and versioning. I think, NC will mainly focus on S3 for larger installation and regular local storage for smaller ones. Don’t get me wrong miracles are possible, but this is my assessment of the current development and technology out there.
