For the last two years I've had periodic snapshots recurring every two hours. I haven't had a need to rollback or clone a snapshot until last night when I mistakenly deleted some files. I caught my mistake immediately so I first tried to rollback the latest snapshot which was from before I deleted the files. Nothing seemed to happen so then I decided to clone the snapshot and then try to grab the files from there. Unfortunately my files were no where to be found. Only the top-level directories were listed with the exception of one recursive directory which happened to match the size of "refer" of the snapshot.
Am I now correct in my understanding that "Refer" is the total amount of data that is recoverable in that snapshot? So basically I've been running snapshots for years but of the wrong/incomplete data?
Fortunately the lost files are replaceable, so this is a "good way" to learn a lesson.
Thank you,
