Title: Import instead of Export
Post by: vetteheadracer on 09 Feb 2007 08:31:13 AM
Is it possible to undo an import?

I was supposed to do an export and run an import by mistake wiping out 2 weeks of report changes.

There is no backup of the SQL Server content store.

Hi,

The bad news is that there's no way to just undo the import.  Your only options are to either a) restore a backup of the content store database from just prior to the import (which you don't have) or b) try to find another deployment export which was created later than the one you imported (if you have one).

Sorry to be the bearer of such gloomy news! (and just before the weekend too!)

Regards,

MF.
