Recovering Accidently Deleted Folder

Good Morning Group,

I have had an iScsi folder on my ReadyNAS 314 with snapshots being created for well over 24mths. For some reason I was messing around with the folder on the ReadyNas admin page and deleated the folder in error. After getting myself through that '...damn I am such an idiot' feeling I had a look at the snapshots and sure enough they are all gone as well. I fully expect there is no way of recovery however I just wanted to throw it out to all the experts in this group to see if there is any way of recovery. I am on firmware 6.5.1.

Cheers & thanks in advance

Hello Homith,

If you have deleted the Snapshots of the share as well then I don't think there is a way.

Just in case you found an old snapshot that you can recover to, here's the article that may help: How do I roll back to a snapshot on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?

Regards,

  G'day JennC,
  I should have responded back earlier, my appologies. I checked the snapshots and there were no listings for that folder. It looks like the way I deleted the iSCSI LUN deleted all the snapshots as well. I seem to remember what I did was within the iSCSI tab selecting DESTROY to remove the LUN group. That deleted the LUN as well..., and all the snapshots. A lesson learnt. I have now included that LUN on my backup schedule. Once again thanks for your help on this.
  
  Cheers
