### Description

I have a question about Weaviate data recovery.  
I was running weaviate in a kubernetes environment and noticed that the schema and object information is gone (verified by API call).  
However, I noticed that they remain on the volume as files as shown below.  
Is there any way to recover the schema and object with the files below?

### Server Setup Information

- Weaviate Server Version: 1.19.0
- Deployment Method: docker
- Multi Node? Number of Running Nodes: 1
- Client Language and Version: python, weaviate-client==3.21.0

### Any additional Information

./volumes/weaviate/vector\_index\_ced7df20\_8996\_479e\_bf37\_f68dcffec3ad\_node\_Xj0snMo61w5a\_lsm/

Hi @Juhong-Namgung !

If you run the same version of Weaviate that produced those files and have them at `PERSISTENCE_DATA_PATH` (by default `/var/lib/weaviate`), it should work.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
