If you fail any time you try to get a revision from the server, it means that the server can't find the archive files.

That seems like the easiest fix. This statement is a little confusing/concerning: Quote > And when I run verify or check P4ROOT/depot/..., most of the files are missing (but not all, at least I see some ,d files). > > Is there any way to restore those archive files or something I can do to get the history or at least be able to get revisions? The depot files themselves are still all there. > The "depot files" are the files under P4ROOT/depot -- binary files are stored as one .gz per revision within a ",d" directory, and text files are stored as ",v" delta files (multiple revisions can go into one file). If those files are gone, all your old revisions are gone -- these should be getting backed up as part of your normal backup process.
