Hoooooo boy.
"Syncthing is not a backup!" they said. And I just learned why - the hard way.
Apparently, when moving files around, it can happen that it deletes them first and recreates them in their new location later.
I was reorganizing my files on the remote end when the remote disk failed. My local copy was in the process of mirroring the changes and is now incomplete.
Which means the only intact copy of all my files is on the failed disk. Wish me luck.
