Recover part of the database

Question

Guys,
How do I recover a part of the database. basically somebody deleted data for dec actuals data from the database, how do I get it back, I do have a backup of the level0 export for the whole database.
Your guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer 1

First off I would seek to address the problem of how this data got cleared in the first place -- do you need to modify someone's access, etc., etc.
Is the level zero export in column format? You could use a load rule to import only December, Actuals, Year?, into the database and then perform a focused calculation / aggregation
Some would say to clear, reload, and calculate the whole cube out of an abundance of caution but it depends on multiple factors such as when was the zero-level export (backup) taken, has other data possibly been modified (changes that you actually want to keep) since the backup was taken, how long does it take to calculate the entire database and what are database availability expectations, etc., etc.
Thank you,
