Help recovering deleted workspace
jonathandsouza26
Hey Guys,
This is my first time posting on this forum so I would ask for some
forgiveness if I have posted this thread in the wrong section. To jump
directly into it:
We have a one project with a workspace that has been storing our issues
and risks linked with that project for two years now. A couple of days
ago I was performing some testing and accidentally(I know I know)
deleted the workspace. These are the steps I followed. I will try and
be as clear as I possibly can:
I have recently been working on converting all of the current workspace
that we created for the projects from
http://opal1/sites/projectserver_144/default.aspx to
http://opal1/projectwebaccess/Comptel%20Solutions%20Upgrade/default.aspx
. Part of this reasoning was to ensure that all workspaces point to
projectwebaccess and not sites or PWA.
For most of the sites with this issues it was fairly straightforward
since there were no issues or risks or documents associated with the
respective workspaces. Therefore I followed the following procedure in
removing them:
1. Navigated to SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration >
Application Management > Delete Site Collection > Change Site
Collection > Choose the relating site to be deleted and choose delete.
2. Then after this proceeded to Project Web Access > Server
Settings > Project Workspaces > Selected the respective project >
Delete Site
3. With most of the projects whose workspace had
http://opal1/sites/...... Clicking on “Delete Site” did not remove the
site from the list. However selecting the workspace and the choosing
“Edit Site Address” > “Remove URL for the SharePoint site” did remove
the site from the listing.
4. Then selected the same project and selected “Create Site” which
created the new workspace
IF that was clear enough. Now as of the current moment the following
exists a workspace for IT Internal Audit called
http:\\opal1\projectwebaccess\IT Internal Audit but with no issues or
risks in them. only the tasks are showing up there.
My backup guys have informed me that through Oracle Data Protector we
have a full database backup from Jan 11th which is a little before this
issue happened.
Would i be able to restore the workspace only for that project or
should I do a full restore of the database.
Or am I pretty much screwed.
I apologize for the lengthy description but i am trying to be as clear
as I can.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you feel that you need
to point at me and laugh that will also be taken in good strides.
Cheers,
jonathandsouza26
