Ok, so good news is no data has actually been lost. But there has been a slight issue and trying to decide the best way to fix it 😐
Was decommissioning a remote UnRaid / Resilio Sync node which is at a friends house the other side of the world, all the data had been sync'd across his local LAN to a new Synology NAS with a new Resilio Sync node. The new NAS had the data encrypted by Resilio Sync.
I then disconnected the old Resilio Sync node from my identity, it looked like it had done it but unknown to me it hadn't.
I then started deleting out the data from the old server being decommissioned, but it was unknown to me still linked and Resilio Sync and proceeded to think all the data (a lot) was being deleted and moved it to the Archive folders on both the encrypted NAS node and my local node(s) on my laptop etc here local to me.
So I now have all this data in Archive, across every node, the problem is if I was to start fresh it would have to transfer TB+ of data back to the remote node.
I did a test and tried copying some of the encrypted data that had been moved into Archive back into the main folder on the remote NAS encrypted node, but it instantly moved it back into Archive so didn't recognise it as data it wanted to index.
Does this mean there is no other option to allow all this data to be re-encrypted and copied over WAN?
I did think of stopping Resilio Sync on the remote encrypted node, then on one of the un-encrypted local nodes moving the data back from Archive and letting it index itself, then on the remote stopped encrypted node moving all the encrypted data from Archive back into the normal share and then starting that node again and seeing if it would index/recognise the encrypted data. But I don't hold much hope of that.
FYI there has been no changes to any of the data anywhere, so in theory the encrypted data (I think) should be identical to what would be re-encrypted and synced over fresh.
Anyone have any other ideas? Like I say no loss of data which is great, but just seeing if I can get things back correct again without having to wait weeks and sucking up bandwidth to resync fresh.
Thanks!
