Restoring the database is only safe if the actual shared folder data was restored first. Otherwise, Syncthing may treat missing files as deletions, resulting in data loss on all connected devices. If Syncthing starts up with an empty database, it'll just pull down any missing files from connected devices instead, which is much safer. The only downside is that the initial scan will take longer if users do actually have all of the shared folder data present. Signed-off-by: Andrew Gunnerson <accounts+github@chiller3.com>
