Yet Another Hard Drive Crashed Thread..

[joe_s2k]

Ok, I've read through the posts but haven't quite figured out if I'm at the point of no return.

Our hard drive crashed and we're in the process of rebuilding our server. I have a recent copy of the database backup, but don't have a copy of the /data/* directories.

Can I restore the images just by using the database restore option and running the Photopost Scan database admin command?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry no you cant really do that. Your photos are stored in the data directory so if that is gone there is nothing to restore and you have lost all your photos

Thank you for the quick response.

Not a problem sorry to be the bearer of bad news
