Roller 4 uses only the file-system for upload storage and does not
store any information in the database. So, if the files are gone in
Roller then either 1) Roller has the wrong directory set as the
uploads directory or 2) somebody deleted the files from disk.
If you explain more about your Roller setup maybe we can figure out
what went wrong. What app server are you using? What directory were
you using to store file uploads? If you did not set the 'uploads.dir'
propoerty, then Roller will use the default value below:
uploads.dir=${user.home}/roller_data/uploads
That means that the files are stored in the home directory of the user
who runs the Roller process. Perhaps somebody deleted that directory?
