Some books from my library disappeared.
Books' files are gone. Folders are in place. Metadata is unchanged (although .opf files are missing too).

I did not perform any file operations besides of Calibre interface. I do not see any rule on which ones are deleted. I have noticed only that if a book is deleted then whole folder contents has gone, not just one file (one book format).

Files are not present in the Trash folder.

Library is stored on Qnap NAS. I know (now) it is not recommended but I have it accessed from one PC only, one Calibre (portable) installation. My laptop's SSD is too small to keep everything locally.

I do not exactly know when the files disappeared but it was during last few days. I have updated Qnap firmaware a few days ago as well (not sure if it is related to the issue).

Is there any chance to recover missing files?

How to prevent such incidents in the future (maybe next fakies are being deleted even right now)?
