Restoring Deleted Repositories
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
By default when repository or whole repository group is deleted an archived copy
|
|
of filesystem repositories are kept. You can see them as special entries in the
|
|
repository storage such as::
|
|
|
|
drwxrwxr-x 3 rcdev rcdev 4096 Dec 4 2017 rm__20171204_105727_400795__ce-import
|
|
drwxrwxr-x 6 rcdev rcdev 4096 Nov 21 2017 rm__20180221_152430_675047__svn-repo
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 7 rcdev rcdev 4096 Mar 28 2018 rm__20180328_143124_617576__test-git
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 7 rcdev rcdev 4096 Mar 28 2018 rm__20180328_144954_317729__test-git-install-hooks
|
|
|
|
|
|
Data from those repositories can be restored by simply removing the
|
|
`rm_YYYYDDMM_HHMMSS_DDDDDD__` prefix and additionally only in case of Mercurial
|
|
repositories remove the `.hg` store prefix.::
|
|
|
|
rm__.hg => .hg
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Git or SVN repositories this operation is not required.
|
|
|
|
After removing the prefix repository can be brought by opening
|
|
:menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Remap and Rescan` and running `Rescan Filesystem`
|
|
|
|
This will create a new DB entry restoring the data previously removed.
|
|
To restore OLD database entries this should be done by restoring from a Database backup.
|
|
|
|
RhodeCode also keeps the repository group structure, this is marked by entries that
|
|
in addition have GROUP in the prefix, eg::
|
|
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 2 rcdev rcdev 4096 Jan 18 16:13 rm__20181130_120650_977082_GROUP_Test1
|
|
drwxr-xr-x 2 rcdev rcdev 4096 Jan 18 16:13 rm__20181130_120659_922952_GROUP_Docs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
RhodeCode Tools have a special cleanup tool for the archived repositories. Please
