Several times now I've had Eclipse delete files for me seemingly randomly - then they appear under the 'Local History' option.

What is going on! I'm definitely not just deleting things by mistake.

Most recently it deleted my template files under html-template which are quite important!

I have an AIR project and a web project that references the src directory inside the AIR project. Usually I close one project while working on the other.

FYI: Currently my backup solution is Windows Home Server which means I have to go home to find a file if its lost in some other fashion and not in history. Yes I do plan to rectify that!

Under Local History you can find the previous versions of your files, after you modified it.

Didn't you set this folder as the output folder for compiling? Then eclipse could clear the files during build.

I suspect it is an external application that is deleting or moving your files. Eclipse's local history simply keeps of copy of your files for quick reverting later.
