3 Restoring Deleted Repositories
4 ==============================
5
6 By default when repository or whole repository group is deleted an archived copy
7 of filesystem repositories are kept. You can see them as special entries in the
8 repository storage such as::
9
10 drwxrwxr-x 3 rcdev rcdev 4096 Dec 4 2017 rm__20171204_105727_400795__ce-import
11 drwxrwxr-x 6 rcdev rcdev 4096 Nov 21 2017 rm__20180221_152430_675047__svn-repo
12 drwxr-xr-x 7 rcdev rcdev 4096 Mar 28 2018 rm__20180328_143124_617576__test-git
13 drwxr-xr-x 7 rcdev rcdev 4096 Mar 28 2018 rm__20180328_144954_317729__test-git-install-hooks

16 Data from those repositories can be restored by simply removing the
17 `rm_YYYYDDMM_HHMMSS_DDDDDD__` prefix and additionally only in case of Mercurial
18 repositories remove the `.hg` store prefix.::
19
20 rm__.hg => .hg
21
22
23 For Git or SVN repositories this operation is not required.
24
25 After removing the prefix repository can be brought by opening
26 :menuselection:`Admin --> Settings --> Remap and Rescan` and running `Rescan Filesystem`
27
28 This will create a new DB entry restoring the data previously removed.
29 To restore OLD database entries this should be done by restoring from a Database backup.

31 RhodeCode also keeps the repository group structure, this is marked by entries that
32 in addition have GROUP in the prefix, eg::
33
34 drwxr-xr-x 2 rcdev rcdev 4096 Jan 18 16:13 rm__20181130_120650_977082_GROUP_Test1
