fredkeeve Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Over a 3 day period I was working on a Microsoft Word file named "Cordes.doc." On the 4th day when I went to work on the file it was no longer in the usual directory on either the main PC or the Backup PC. Numerous associated !SYNC file exist on both PCs, but the source file is missing. On the Backup PC I found an earlier version of the file; Cordes.doc 11/23/2013 3:36PM MS Word Doc 21,741 KB in .SynchArchive. How did this file get deleted on both PCs? How can I recover this file?

Harold Feit Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 The file LIKELY got replaced or lost due to the way that office handles file locking.Additionally, 1.1.82 is not current and that may be the root cause of your issue. Current as of this post is 1.2.73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredkeeve Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I have updated to 1.2.73 on both PCs. Now is there any way to use save/archived information to recover my file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 The file isn't in the .syncarchive folder on the main machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredkeeve Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I have a 1-way synch. Directories BTsync & the corresponding .SyncArchive are only on the Backup PC. The only BitTorrent directory on the Main PC is Sync & it only contains the file meta.data. Can I recover the Cordes.doc file using the following files on the main PC ~WRL1426.tmp.lsync 11/24/2013 5:34PM !SYNC File MS Word Doc 21,818 KBCordes.doc.lsync 11/24/2013 3.43PM !SYNC File MS Word Doc 21,865 KB or the following file on the Backup PC~WRL0613.tmp 11/24/2013 5:32PM TMP File 21,908 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 You MIGHT be able to open one of them, but they are likely going to be incomplete because of the nature of sync temp files. I make no guarantees at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredkeeve Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I renamed the file~WRL0613.tmp 11/24/2013 5:32PM TMP File 21,908 KBon the Backup PC to Cordes.doc & I have recovered my file & it was complete.Thanks for your help.
