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.
