Hello.

I'm facing an issue that I find hard to understand. A single file (a filemaker database.fp7) has disappeared from the mac AND from all timemachine snapshots.

I have a feeling that the user tried to move the db file while it was still opened in filemaker and thus somehow wrecked it. Maybe it was deleted by accident... I cant tell - but I really do not understand why it doesnt show up on the backup. Every other file and folder seems fine in time machine.

Is there anything I can do to

a) get an idea of what happened
b) restore said file

... any help, hint or solution is much appreciated.
