Data loss after server restore

Desktop
1

After a hard disk failure I had to restore a one day old backup. After activating the desktop sync client, new files on the local computer were deleted.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Sync your data from local computer
  2. Create a full backup of owncloud server according to manual
  3. Create some new files on local computer and sync them
  4. Restore server from the backup of step 2
  5. New files of step 3 will be deleted when running sync client after restore

Expected behaviour
New files of step 3 should be synced to server in step 5

Actual behaviour
New files are deleted

Client configuration

Hi,

seems the following occ command (from [1]) could be explained in a few more details:

Run maintenance:data-fingerprint to tell desktop and mobile clients that a server backup has been restored. Users will be prompted to resolve any conflicts between newer and older file versions.
