It’d be hard to troubleshoot without knowing more about your setup, specifically:
1). How did you setup your server? Did you use a guide – if so, which one?
2). Have you checked your logs to see if there’s anything causing the loss of data?
3). Was your web server properly secured?
Database Servers generally don’t randomly lose data without reason and #3 is a big one.
