So I've noticed recently that a small database in IP.Content that has a title field and two attachmentfields for images is loosing the files for the first field. The files are physically gone from the upload folder and I cannot figure out why.

As of now i've lost about 6 images across 6 records.

I've checked for breaches, everything seems to be in order and it does not really make sense, if there would be a breach, that those images would be deleted...

 

I am having the same problem. Random missing attachments from Private Topics and a few posts.   Also lost notifications back to a certain date.

I would talk to your hosting provider and ask them to look at the logs for whatever file is missing. You can also investigate if the files still exist in old backups.
