| 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 | ||||
| see :ref:`clean-up-cmds` | ||||
