Environment

Novell Filr 1.0
Novell Filr 1.0 Desktop client for Windows.

Situation

On a windows workstation, with the Novell Filr 1.0 or Novell Filr 1.0 FTF client installed, and configured sync "My files" to moving a sub-folder from a sub-folder one level up, to "My Files" then deleting the original sub-folder can cause data loss.

As a For instance:
When My Folder\All Data\My Data is moved one level up to My Folder\My Data, and then My Folder\All Data is deleted, all sub-folders of My Folder\My Data\ can disappear after a client synchronization.

Resolution

This has been reported to engineering and should be addressed in a forthcoming release of Novell Filr.

However, the files could still be located in one of these directory structures on the Filr Appliance:
For a small or large Filr deployment:
/vastorage/filr/filerepository/
/vastorage/filr/archivestore/
/vastorage/filr/cachefilestore/


For a Filr Cluster deployment:
/vashare/filr/filerepository/
/vashare/filr/archivstore/
/vashare/filr/cachefilestore/


Be aware that there is no directory structure here as it was on the client, it may require extensive searching on the file system.
