I have a Starter package without auto-deploy and my render server randomly restarted yesterday, losing my data. How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Greetings,
Daniel
A service can be restarted at any time for many different reasons, if a host needs to be replaced, the hardware fails etc, then a restart would occur.
As we document at https://render.com/docs/disks our filesystems are ephemeral so anything written to them would be lost following a restart/deploy etc. You should use a persistent disk and configure your service to write files to that path to tolerate a restart.
