Movies in collections that I made are missing movies

[ZamBucca1 0]

I have around 11 different collections that I made and a few collections had 50 - 100 movies or TV shows and now all of them have most of the movies missing. Most of the movies I had searched for and added to collections and some I have found in the latest Remux 4k movies, latest movies, etc.

Why would a back up fail? I just received this message?

I have spent many hours building my library. Is there any way to recover them?

I am not really sure exactly when it happened. I believe It was sometime in the last week.

Has anyone else seen this happen? One day you have a collection the you made have most of the movies removed or deleted?

HI, apologies for the disruption. This is not normal. Can you get it to happen again with a new collection? Do you have nfo files in your movie directories next to your movie files?

In the collection I made "0.1 Next up Movies" another movie was missing this morning. When I first put this post here I was down to 11 movies from probably around 75 or so movies. On 9/4/26, I still had 11 movies and this morning (9/5) I only have 10 movies.

Most of my collections I created last September and I add to the "0.1 Next up Moves and "0.2 TV Series" weekly. I put 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 etc in front of all the collection names I made to keep them in front of all the other collections the I didn't make, like A& E, ABC, Adult Swim etc. I have 11 collections that I have made and added movies or shows to and all of are missing movies. 

I made a new collection "0.12 Rocky" and it still has the 8 movies I put in it on 8/31/26. 

How can I tell if I have nfo files in my movie directories next to the movie files? When I added movies to the collection "0.12 Rocky" for example, I created a Rocky collection and added a Rocky movie to it and then changed the collection name to "0.12 Rocky"and then added the rest of the movies to 0.12 Rocky.
