Hi Robin,

I assume you're on Instiki 0.10.x or earlier. Normally Madeleiene (the
Instiki backend) keeps snapshots in the storage. Each snapshot file
has a complete set of data at the time it is taken The .command_log
files are incremental changes from the last snapshot, which will be
deleted after a new snapshot is taken. This is considered the backup,
are never deleted from within Instiki, and there is no other place
these are kept.

Besides the really clueless "are you looking at the right directory on
the right drive", I can think of anything that would force it to
delete all those files. SOMETHING must have recreated the storage
directory. Could it have been an external issue? Info on Instiki
version, OS, how you run etc might help.

Cheers,
Assaph
