ZODB reverts to older state after ZEO restart

Recently we restarted our zeo server and immediately noticed
that we are missing good bit of recently added content. We seemed
to have reverted back to a specific date in the past. All content
updates since have disappeared.

Restoring the Data.fs from a recent backup still had the same effect, the
content all reverted back to one specific date. In the logs it does show
that we restored the Data.fs from a backup, restarted, and migrated to
a newer version of Zope/Plone (Zope 2.9.4 - 2.9.5, Plone 2.5.4 - 2.5.5).
After the update, the site was fine and was running along smoothly.

A few days later this came up in the event.log:

------

The persistent cache file has been saved, but looking at the archive it
seems that
you can't restore a Data.fs from the persistent cache (please correct me on
this). Looking at
the logs we can find what content was edited in this time frame and we can
see that it did exist at one time, but the data itself is not in any of the
backup Data.fs files we have.

This is a bit perplexing in that when we restore from any of the backups it
still reverts, what could
cause this situation and if the data was in fact being saved, where could it
have been saved? We
were backing up the correct Data.fs (at least, it was the Data.fs that the
zeo server was connected to)

If the zeo server was read only this would make sense but then we wouldn't
be able to make any
content updates and it would be immediately evident.

Any suggestions or ideas on how we could recover any of this data and the
reasoning behind this happening is much appreciated.

This usually means that you moved or deleted your storage file
while ZEO was running.

Under *nix, processes that have a file open when it is moved or deleted
continue to operate on this file and not a potentially new file
at the original place.
However, a newly started process will the the new state and use
such a new file.


If you are lucky, the storage file was moved and you still
know the moved to location. Then, you find all your current state
in this file. Otherwise, your chances are bad....

I believe this is the case, I found another thread with a similar problem:
