On windows, when I am using rabbitmq-server start/stop commands, data over the RabbitMQ durable queues are deleted. It seems queues are re-created when I start the RabbitMQ server.
If I use rabbitmqctl stop_app/start_app, I am not losing any data. Why?
What will happen if my server goes down and how can I be sure I that I won't lose data if it does?
configuration issue: I was starting rabbitmq from rabbitmq sbin directory. I re-installed the rabbitmq and added rabbitmq to windows services. Now data lost problem was solved on my computer. When I start/stop the windows service , rabbitmq is not losing any data
