Did anyone else lose historical rra data on 1.2.12 upgrade?

I copied them over like I always do, but it's like 1.2.12 just ignores the old data prior to the upgrade.

You mishandled your rrdfiles. This is a common beginners mistake.

I did exactly per the upgrade guide:

6. Copy the *.rrd files from the old Cacti directory.
shell> cp cacti_old/rra/* cacti/rra/

I've done this upgrade probably 50 times and it's only done this a handful of times, usually when there are issues with the patch.

Yea, we need to update the instructions. The way I do it is

git clone -b 1.2.x https://GitHub.com/cacti/cacti.git cacti-develop
cp -rp cacti-develop/* cacti
chown -r apache:apache cacti
refresh your browser
