Hi,
With little to no sleep last night I pulled a bonehead manoeuvre and managed to delete much of my data by deleting a user in owncloud that had access to the data. I have regular hourly snapshots (and to be honest the data changes only very rarely). I have read the recommended procedure of cloning the snapshot and copying across the files, however I have a question. Specifically, I have 1TB of space left in total and more than 1TB of data to restore - meaning that when the user was deleted, I guess the files ended up in the equivalent of a recycle bin? Does cloning a snapshot use storage?
I don't mind manually restoring the data, as per recommended, but would I be better to do a rollback and deleting the few snapshots taken since the event?
Assistance greatly appreciated!
Cheers
