Data Backup and Storage

Computerome does not offer a long-term archive solution or cold storage services for project data. We are working on providing a data archiving solution in the future.


Snapshot Recovery



The snapshot recovery feature allows users to recover individual files or whole directory structures which were deleted up to 4 weeks ago.


To use the self-service snapshot recovery option, go to the directory, (e.g example_oops_I_deleted_something) that used to contain the files you want recover. Then use the cd command to go to the hidden .snapshots directory which will contain a number of timestamped subdirectories. Now go to the subdirectory that contained the files or directories you wish to recover, before the time of deletion. The deleted files or directories can then be recovered using the cp command.


$ cd example_oops_I_deleted_something
$ cd .snapshots
$ ls -l
