Hello,
last night my windows server rebooted after the November update. After restart Node-RED did not started:

I opened the ".json" files and 2 from 3 where filled with nulls. Ups. I‘m running NodeRED as a service and reboots did not caused any problems. I don`t know how these files are written but perhaps the old method of writing a new one and then rename the old to an .bak-file and then rename the new to .json can a) prevent this and b) allways provide a recent backup.
I thought modern OSes have overcome this problem but ... I don`t want to stop windows from autoupdates as they keep an headless server as protected as possible.
Deleting this files made the server start again but I lost all my recent configurations stored there ...
Any Ideas what I can do to prevent this in the future (beside "save often save early", "allways have a backup on hand" or "switch over to linux"
