Annoying Backup Detected message

[henryd]

I occasionally receive a pop-up box titled “Backup Detected” followed by “This sync would reset the files to an earlier time…” and I have a choice of keeping the local file or accepting the sync.
Trouble is the file in question is not named so I cannot make an informed decision as how to act.
More info would be greatly appreciated.

Please report such issues directly to the bugtracker:

owncloud/client

the 2.2.3-client, which is expected to be released soon, fixes some issues with the backup detection:

Desktop client 2.2.3 rc1 released

...and we got rc1 out with a small fix related to if the server has a backup restored. Download here (or git checkout v2.2.3-rc1): https://owncloud.org/install/#testing-development As usual, we're also offering Testpilotcloud which is a separately branded client with a different configuration directory so you can try this first if you don't want to update your normal client. Please test

If you have some time and a good backup, you can try the testpilot of the 2.2.3-version and see if this happens with this version as well.
