# Best way to extract git-annex object files (with correct names) in absence of git log?
But, please don't post bug reports here. Put them in [[bugs]].
And please don't make wishlist requests here. Put them in [[todo]].
(If you post bugs/todo here, it'll just get moved.)
**Issue**:
[[!inline pages="forum/* and !*/Discussion" archive=yes feedlimit=10
rootpage=forum postformtext="Add a new thread titled:"]]
* any git log is missing, so restore not viable
* annex directory is empty, i.e. no symlinks (.git/annex present, though)
* annex A: .git/annex/transfer/download/failed contains files
* annex B: .git/annex/objects contains files
* git-annex fsck -A: checksums files present
* git-annex fix: no change
* git-annex sync [--content]: on B fetched objects, fails on A (iirc)
* git-annex find: nothing
* git-annex unused shows couple of files on annex A and B
* git-annex addunused && git-annex unlock makes them available but filename is missing: "unused.SHA256E-[...].pdf"
**Question**: any chance of restoring those files with their correct names?
Thanks i.a. for any recommendations.
