Not able to recover files in alfresco deleted via CMIS sync

[Divyam Srivastava]

Hi,

The site files got mistakenly deleted from the folder in desktop in CMIS sync and hence from alfresco repo.

We are not able to recover these files from the trashcan. It fails with the below errors.

Please suggest how to recover the files deleted via CMIS sync

Hello Divyam,

Sorry to hear about that!

CmisSync is synchronization software, so deleting on the client will indeed automatically delete on the server, that's what it is designed for.

If you want to make sure accidental modification never happens, we suggest using an Alfresco user who only has read rights on the data.

Of course, having backups is also essential, CmisSync or not.

If you have no backups, then the following seems like the best thing to do:

1) Stop CmisSync

2) Try to recover the files on the client operating system (for instance from the Windows Recycle Bin)

3) Try to recover the files from Alfresco (I guess that is what you tried, though I have never seen the error above

4) Stop Alfresco and try to recover the files using the server operating system's procedure for that, if there is any

By the way, here is the safe way to remove a synchronized folder:
