Good morning, Just a follow-up question on this. Let's say for instance you have to restore an entire database and the assetstore, do you lose all thumbnails and will filter-media have to start building thumbnails from scratch?
I have been running filter-media and it has been running for 3 weeks and not yet completed. Looking forward to your response.
