Was at home, connected via Internet to Sesame server 2.5 at the office .... input some data here and there, no problems. Left the computer for 15 minutes. Came back, and logged into the office server computer via GoToMyPC, in order to copy database to my laptop at the house. Once logged onto the office server computer, I saw a message on the server desktop that "Sesame.exe" had a problem, was shut down, and did I want to report the problem to Microsoft. I restarted Sesame server engine, loaded a Sesame client , and all data entered today (by everyone, not just me later in the afternoon) was non-existent.
Well, a backup() of my app's db and dat is made each time one of my work clients is logged on (using Sesame backup code whenever this client is launched), and the latest backup was dated 2:46pm (horrendous weather here, so office closed at 3pm) and I'm thinking "no problem, I'll just copy those latest backup files to sdata directory and I'll be good to go. So I do that, but there's not a whiff of 1/28/2010 (today's) data anywhere.
How could the server engine be running, allowing connection and data entry (sales orders to be entered and saved, purchase orders to be entered and saved, etc), but none of the data was included in a backup?
