CS snapshots
Some of our file servers support snapshots. If your files are on one of these servers, you may be able to recover files you have accidently deleted.
ls ~/.snapshot
hourly.0/ hourly.1/ hourly.2/ hourly.3/
hourly.4/ hourly.5/ nightly.0/ nightly.1/
The most recent copy of the file, made in the last hour, is in hourly.0/, the copy made last night at midnight is in nightly.0/ The oldest copy is in nightly.1/
For example, to see what copies of ~/dir1/dir2/file.txt are available from different times in the past:
cd ~/dir1/dir2
ls -l .snapshot/*/file.txt
To recover a file, simply copy it from the .snapshot directory:
cp .snapshot/nightly.0/file.txt ./
If you need a file restored from before the oldest snapshot, please fill out our File Restoration Request form, we may be able to recover the file from tape.
