Can you elaborte on the situation? Is this just a "what iff" question? --> we provide the before-sync-target and after-sync-target hooks. if you use them as intended, you always have something consistent to fall back to. Are you already in a situation where your only remaining copy of data had been sync target before? Then you are in the unlucky situation, that your data is inconsistent. Depending on how far the resync progressed before, and how desperate you are in trying to reconstruct some of the content, and of course, how much file system meta data blocks would have been target of resync, you may be able to still get to most of the files, in some state or other. But I'd probably rather go for the latest backup than trying to do cumbersome forensics on a half-way bulk-updated file system image.
