Library lose file
trodesson:
The files disappear from the media library and the nas. I have 12850 CDs in my nas, that's more than 193000 files. I don't know exactly which ones I'm missing: I'm noticing them one by one, even recently imported CDs can lose titles. I would like to be able to solve the problem without having to re-import all my CDs, because that would take me several months. I recently made a backup, I was thinking of resetting my nas (or buying another one :-\) re-importing the backup and then adding the missing files piecemeal. Good idea or not ?
Thanks

It's very unlikely that the NAS is 'losing' files. You're only going by the file count, and that's error prone.
Make sure to disable 'fix broken links' option in AutoImport settings. Run a full auto-import on your whole NAS to find all existing files
When you say 'backup', are you talking about an MC backup or an actual backup of the files on your NAS? The MC backup is only a backup of the database, it does NOT include any of your audio files. A restore would NOT bring them back!

The files REALLY disappear from the nas. My backup is a copy of all the "music" files of the nas The number of files I give is the number given by J River (and it decreases regularly)

;D Indeed, the "broken links" setting was safe, yes I set it to no and instantly the import started and found 730 files The import summary now tells me 215976 files, however the number of files displayed at the bottom of the page has not changed: 193583. The number of albums is still 12863.

This just means your view is not showing you all files. You probably have other non-audio files imported (video, images/covers, PDFs, etc) which are not displayed in an Audio view. You need to create a view without any filters to see all the files at the same time. If MC says it has 215976 files, then it has 215976 files.
You can go to Services&Plugins->Reporter (on the left tree) to see the total file count for each type - Audio, Video, Image, Other. It may take a long time to open with your collection!
