REALMS-84game loses data and reverts chunks back to original data
After something is built the game loses the data at random and reverts back to the original landscape. This occurs when the area is reloaded by walking away and coming back or exiting the game and coming back. The affected area seems to be about 16x16. The chunk of area affected is from sky limit to bedrock reverting the entire chunk back to the original data before it was ever modified by a player. For example, I built a structure roughly 50x50 blocks and the middle of it just disappeared and reverted back to the original landscape while the walls of the structure remain. This seems to occur at random. This does not occur every time the game is loaded. Roughly happening about once every couple of hours of game play. The issue is not revolving around any one single player on the realm.

Happened to me twice (once in two chunks, other in one) in 17 days playing in a PE/Win10 realm. Seems really random, since it seems it happened when no one was logged on, in random chunks.
This has been happening on my PE/Win 10 realm as well. We've built an elevated dual railway and a 16x16 section of it regularly reverts taking with it the power rails.
I'm having this problem on a Java Realm on a much larger scale. Huge swathes of our realm have reverted to their previous form wiping out months of work and each and every attempt to use a backup has ended with an error. Projects from literally years ago have been erased by this bug and a friend of mine had their entire city (the work of the past month) eradicated.
Happened to me twice on 2 different realms
happened to me as well, and every time I try to restore the world to a backup, it creates multiple backups of the new unsaved chunk world and doesn't even restore the world back, getting the error 500. I was only able to connect to the world a few times, and tried each method of restoring the world in both 1.13 and 1.13.1 multiple times to no avail. everything just disappeared, and with no way of downloading a backup from 12 hours ago, all the backups with the actual world will soon disappear leaving everything gone forever.
Hey everyone. Each time you restore from backup, a restore point is created. That is why you see an extra entry in the backup list. You should be able to restore from backup, if not contact support and we'll try to help you.
Partial world resets for java realms are also mentioned in the description and comments of
