Files gone after MOVE

Post by rgr » Thu Apr 10, 2014 4:49 pm

I need help to recover files that disappeared from Vault after a MOVE. These are my Vault versions:
[4/10/2014 11:38:15 AM] Version Check: This Vault Standard client is version 6.0.0.477
[4/10/2014 11:38:16 AM] Version Check: Your server is version 6.0.0.477

How this happened:
I have 3 folders that are siblings, say A, B, and C, and each of those folders contains one folder with source files, lets call them X, Y and Z. Many of those source files are shared across the X, Y and Z subfolders. I wanted to eliminate X, Y, and Z, and have the files directly under the sibling folders A, B, and C. I went to each subfolder, selected all the files, and MOVEd them to the parent without committing. Once I MOVEd the files in the 3 subfolders, I selected all the files in the pending change set and committed. BUT only one set of files, say from folder Z was moved successfully to C, while the other 2 sets of files just disappeared!!! They are nowhere to be found and were deleted from my hard drive!!!

HELP!!!

The actual action itself should be possible to perform.

I'll need to see some detailed history. Could you perform a Show History on the parent folder, then save the results and email me the results? You can send an email to support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth). Please include a link to this forum thread.

Hi Beth, thanks for your reply. We just found the files in another directory in Vault (with the same names A and B--a fresh pair of eyes noticed the discrepancy in the history). It was embarrassingly a user error. We moved them now to their proper place.

Thanks!
