We use VC to run Jobs on a daily basis. For some reason we lost all jobs on the server. We discovered the the Jobs.xml file had no information in it.

What are the known scenarios that can occur that will result in VC clearing out the Job/Task that are configured?


We had a backup of the XML files that we could recover from.

Currently we only now one situation when it can happen and that is if the VisualCron process is aborted during the time it saves the file. We have worked around this in many ways in later versions (6 and later).
