How can I restore a document from last night's backup of Huxley?

You can now do restore most documents on Huxley from backups yourself!

If you need to restore a document from your Home drive, first go into your Home and look for the folder called "snapshots." Go into that folder, and you'll find a perfect "snapshot" of what your Home drive looked like last night at midnight. You can just drag the document(s) you need to restore from "snapshots" back into your Home drive.

If you need to restore a document from Misc or Webdirs, you'll find a "snapshots" folder in the root of those drive. Inside that, there's a perfect snapshot of the drive last night at midnight. You can again just drag-and-drop files from the snapshot back to the real version.

The snapshots are all read-only, so you don't have to worry about blowing away backed up data. And they have the same access controls as the "real" drives, so you don't have to worry about snoopers, either.

If you need to restore a file from a backup older than one day, please submit a ticket.
