BACKUPS - Requesting Restoration of a Deleted File

If you delete a home directory file (in /users on the Grad/Research Net or /home on the Ugrad Net) that you realize you need back, send an email to support@cs.jhu.edu with the following information:

• On which network (Grad/Research or Ugrad) you deleted the file(s).

• The machine on which you deleted the file(s).

• The exact path to the file(s) in question.

• When you deleted the file(s). (Approx date/time, if possible.)

• The last time (approx date and time please) that you recall the file was intact. We will search our backups for the files prior to that time (which may be similar to the answer above.)

We will respond back with any further questions or when your restore is complete. Sometimes, we may choose not to overwrite an existing file in your directory. In those cases, the restored file will have a .R suffix appended to its filename.
