I'm not totally sure what you mean when you say you "lost the attached photos of my records."

Regarding data written to the ephemeral filesystem, it cannot be recovered after a redeploy. Each deployment starts with a fresh filesystem, so any files written at runtime (like your /upload/ directory) are permanently lost when a new deployment is created.

To prevent this in the future, you can attach a Volume to your service, which persists data across deployments. If your app writes to a relative path like ./upload, you would mount the volume at /app/upload.

Oh, wow, that's too bad. My fault for using ************* service.
