Having not lost any data in 15+ years, I need to understand what you are saying
here.

The report says ...
If you replace a database when users are still connected, the server will
continue to work with the old file, which is wrongly assumed to be deleted.

This particular database hasn't been replaced at all. It was created on the
machine from a backup of the development database which is what I've managed to
recover from and has only been active a few weeks. It was the error while trying
to back up that was more concerning? Or was that just an indication that Linux
could not find the file?
