Operating Systems Linux how to recover from back up directory Post 302237579 by frank_rizzo on Thursday 18th of September 2008 12:50:21 AM

recover your files from a recent backup. If you don't have a backup consider the files gone. It might be possible to recover them but it is not trivial.

If you have a .snapshot directory on the file system then it sounds like you have a netapp filer or something like that. If you do, then the recovery of the file should be as simple as copying that file back to the original place.
