Report shows 303 files were "removed" when there is no evidence of removal #33
Description
Hello,
I use Fixity to run reports on various file directories in our digital archives. In a recent report on one file directory, 303 files were shown as "removed" from the directory since the previous report on the same directory. I checked a sample of the files said to be missing, however, and found that each “removed” file was still in the directory. I also reached out to our IT department, who reported that no files were removed or copied to a different server.
Has anyone else encountered erroneous reports of "removed" or "changed" files? I'd be interested to hear from others or AVP.
One other thing to note: I recently updated the path before running the report (I received a new PC in November and had to update all paths). Having said that, I updated the path for several other directories before running reports and did not encounter this issue.
Thank you!
Drew
