How to restore a specific folder from backup tape

[Daniel-140]

Hi,

I'm using Content Server 5.3 SP1 and webtop 5.3 SP1
Currently there is one folder (included sub folder and contents) was
deleted in Webtop.

We do have a backup tape and want to restore from there. How do we
restore from backup tape to just restore the deleted folder (included
sub folder and contents) with indexes??

Urgent!! Thanks in advance.

Dan,

Don't worry about the indexes. I would review the database tables to confirm
that they have actually been removed from the tables.

Good luck

There isn't any neat way to do this.
That's why companies like CYA have a business.

Basically, I think the only supported way is to restore the complete
backup Docbase,
export the stuff you want from it, and import that into the latest Docbase.
Depending on whether or not the Docbase has its own RDBMS database
instance, you may
or may not be able to do it on the same host machine.

Hi
 
you need to look for file report for that day when folder was deleted.
 search object with any keyword (owner name) and look for location in file store
   go pick files from filestore and u r done..
 
   not sure about metadata
 
Cheers

If the dm_clean job hasn't run yet, only the dm_sysobject (and subtype)
objects have been deleted. The dmr_content objects which point to the files
on the filestore are still there and the files on the filestore also remain.
If you know which object_id's were deleted, you can find the related
dmr_content objects and recreate the dm_sysobject objects and point them to
the dmr_content objects. If you don't, then if you have a recent report of
the dm_filescan job, this will give you the info you need.

If the dm_clean job was run, then orphaned dmr_content objects have been
deleted and you will need to either restore the docbase to the point where
the folders existed, or restore it to a secondary environment and export the
data you need, as someone else suggested.

I suppose you could try to find the dm_syobject/* records in the database
and try to restore them individually, but this is messy and fraught with
potential problems.

Ahson
