Deleted home directory from XRAID any way to recover?
Hi
Hope someone maybe able to help me with this issue which is causing me great agony at the moment.
We had storage issues on our Apple XRAID and on the RAID it stored approx 700 user home folders. There were under a folder called 'home directories'. A lot of these areas where fairly sizable so we were advised that we can run a command in terminal which can clear the trash folders in a users home directory.
This would certainly help clear some of the unnecessary space that was being taken up.
So in terminal a command was run:
rm - R -v /Volumes/RAID/Homedirectories/*/.Trash
We were told that the last statement would have interrogated each user home folder and deleted the trash folder.
We found though that whilst this command worked and deleted the trash, it also deleted all user home folders and everything within these folders.
I have a massive dilemma now as all the work is lost and our backup software wasn't working at the same time so I not able to do a restore. I was using RetroSpect 8.
I have tried various undelete software to interrogate the RAID and see if it can recover files. I have used:
Stella Phoenix, Rstudio for Mac and Disk Warrior.
These programs have not been able to recover anything.
I was going to use a freeware tool called TestDisk and photorec buts its going to take about 3 days for it to run on the XRAID as its 3tb in size.
Does anyone think I could try something else to help me find the accidently deleted data. With the rm commands that have been run is there any way to recover from it from an XRAID.
I have found some other software cannot see the XRAID. Does anyone know of other software which has been successful?
Thank you
Since this issue and through the countless data recovery methods used. I am concerned that the disks will have gone through **** with intensive interrogation of that disks.
Am I just being anal or do I have a genuine reason to be slightly worried.
I am going to put a bid to my seniors about maybe purchasing a new storage device to replace the XRAID and maybe use the XRAID for just backup/archival purposes.
What suggestions do users have with other Storage Arrays? I ideally want something where I can at least have about 5tb but with the option to grow and I want to be able to use both the XRAID and the new storage device in conjunction. Could I possibly have a replication between the new storage array and the XRAID?
Which devices out there would be an ideal replacement for the Apple XRAID that others recommend?
United Digital Hyperstar
ACTIVE RAID ES (From the developers of the original XRAID)
Promise vTrak E-CLASS
Am I right in saying that I would replace the existing fibre channel card in the Xserve with a new 4 port 4Gb card. so I can attach 2 ports of the existing Xserve RAID and the other 2 ports to the a new storage device.
My plan would be to use RAID5 for redundancy, any benefits of using some other RAID such as 1+0 or RAID50?
Thanks

Keyframes deleted after exporting selection. Any way to recover?
Hey folks,
It looks like I may have been burned by the autosave feature. This evening I went into an old flash file to grab some stills that I could pull into an illustrator file via export selection. I didn't remove any frames from the timeline while I was working, but I did notice that the file autosaved a handful of times. When I went back into the file again later to export another graphic, I noticed that a handful of layers had suddenly lost their keyframes. The frames affected were all in graphics. This is a project I'm somewhat far removed from now, so I'm not planning to spend the time to go back and redraw everything that's missing, but it really irks me that this stuff disappeared when I went into the program to do some pretty non-invasive editing.
So my question is, before this gets too far away, is there a way to revert the autosaved file to an earlier version (even imperfectly or incompletely just to find the missing chunks and manually reinsert them into current document). Is there anywhere that missing frames have been known to show up? There's an entry for today in the swf history that says "swf size increased over 50%," in case that is helpful to know.
First time here, so let's hope I'm doing this by the books:
Adobe Flash Professional CS 6, 12.0.0.481
Windows 7
HP laptop, nothing too fancy here.
64bit operating system
6 gb ram
Intel Core i5-2439M cpu @ 2.4 GHz
Thanks!Try right-clicking on the file and select "Properties." See if you have a "Previous Versions" tab. Whether you do depends on how your computer is set up. If that's there, you may be able to recover the file.
For future reference, both Git and SVN allow you to create local repositories, so version control doesn't need to be elaborate. -
Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?
Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

Active Directory + Resource action to delete home directory
Hi all,
I am trying to delete home directory from the disk physically after the user is deleted from AD. I followed the link http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-6551/bzbuc?a=view and implemented the delete resource action as mentioned in the link.
here are the steps i followed (For testing, I mentioned delete >> C:\test.txt to see if it deletes the text file)
1. Enter delete after action in the Identity Manager User Attribute column of the resource’s schema map.
2. In the Attribute Type column, select string.
3. In the Resource User Attribute column, enter IGNORE_ATTR. Leave the Required, Audit, Read Only, and Write Only columns unchecked.
4. Add this to the Deprovision Form user form after the </Include> tag:
<Field name= ’resourceAccounts.currentResourceAccounts[AD].attributes.
delete after action’>
<Expansion>
<s>AfterDelete</s>
</Expansion>
</Field>
5. Create the following XML file and import into Identity Manager. (Change file paths according to your environment.)
<?xml version=’1.0’ encoding=’UTF-8’?> <!DOCTYPE Waveset PUBLIC
’waveset.dtd’ ’waveset.dtd’>
<Waveset>
<ResourceAction name=’AfterDelete’>
<ResTypeAction restype=’Windows Active Directory’ timeout=’6000’>
<act>
echo delete >> C:\test.txt
exit
</act>
</ResTypeAction>
</ResourceAction>
</Waveset>
6. Edit the XML for the Active Directory resource and add information to the “delete after action” schema mapping. Here is an example of a complete schema mapping for this resource with the new additions. (You will be adding the views-related information.)
<AccountAttributeType id=’12’ name=’delete after action’ syntax=’string’
mapName=’IGNORE_ATTR’ mapType=’string’>
<Views>
<String>Delete</String>
</Views>
</AccountAttributeType>
To test, I deleted a user from AD and I was expecting the file c:\test.txt to be deleted as it invokes the Resource action after delete. Has anyone been successful in deleting the home directory from drive after the user is deleted. Any pointers or help
Thanks,
AniHi Gaurav,
I have to implement Resource Action functionality for Solaris system. I followed the link http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19225-01/820-6551/bzbuc/index.html and the first message of this thread. I am using 8.1 IDM.
But unfortunately I can’t trigger any bash commands on the resource like echo deleting of user wiht next name - $WSUSER_accountId >> /tmp/resultFile.txt.
There are any errors on log file.
Can you share your work configuration and steps to reproduce?
I have done next but Resource Action doesn’t triggered:
1. My Action:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE Waveset PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
<Waveset>
<ResourceAction name='AST-ResAct-SOL-AfterDelete'>
<ResTypeAction restype='Solaris' timeout='6000'>
<act>
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo deleting of user wiht next name - $WSUSER_accountId >> /tmp/resultFile.txt
exit 0
</act>
</ResTypeAction>
</ResourceAction>
</Waveset>
2. Added next line to “Deprovision Form”
<Field name='resourceAccounts.currentResourceAccounts[SOLARIS 10].attributes.delete after action'>
<Expansion>
<s>AST-ResAct-SOL-AfterDelete</s>
</Expansion>
</Field>
3. Added a new attribute mapping on the resource:
<AccountAttributeType id='12' name='delete after action' syntax='string' mapName='IGNORE_ATTR' mapType='string'>
</AccountAttributeType>
4. Assigned role (this role provisioned resource to user) to user, delete user from resource via Deprovision IDM page. But my Action commands didn’t trigger on resource.
Thanks’ in advance! -
While trying to sync my calendar to my new mac, I lost all my calendar events on my iPhone. Best guess is I didn't set up icloud on my phone first and my computer deleted them. Is there any way to recover my calendar from iCloud?

Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash?????
Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash;ie emptied trash..
Depends on the version of iPhoto - some details would help us help you
If you have iPhoto '11 then the photos go from the iPhoto trash to the system trash and you can recover them there and import backinto iPhoto
Otherwise you you are looking at data recovery software like file salvage http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage or a data recovery service

Hello, I am curious if there is any way to recover a deleted voicemail from my iPhone 4 after I have deleted it from my deleted messages.
No but you can go to the deleted messages just after you delete them and undelete. Once the carrier deletes it from the system you cannot get it back.

Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?
Kevin-
You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad? Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well. I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

I accidently deleted a note from my iphone 5 is there any way to recover it from icloud?
You have to start by erasing the phone so if there's any newer data on it that is not contained in your last backup, you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Then sign into your iCloud account and choose your backup to restore from.
Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take a while to finish. -
