I was using railway volume since last two days and tested that it was mounted properly.
Just one hour ago, while my team is checking through the data, the data suddenly got wiped out and now my volume does not have any data anymore.
May i know why did this happen and how can i retrieve the data?

hey, which service was the volume attached to? (i.e a repo, a db, etc.) and how did you verify/test that it was mounted correctly?
did you have any recent deployments/config changes that might cause it, or are you able to provide any logs from the service that could potentially wipe it at the app level? startup scripts or init jobs that could wipe the path (e.g., rm -rf on boot) in use?

i mounted a volume, storage volume.
how i test it: I submit a data, then redeploy the repo to ensure the data is persistent.
there is no deployment / config change when this happened, team was using the system

yeah then im not quite sure, not familiar how data can get deleted unless its on an app level change or manual deletion of the volume data.
