7.7 Recovering from a Catastrophic Loss of the
iFolder Server
If the iFolder server configuration or data store becomes corrupted, use your iFolder backup files to
restore the database to its last good backup. Restoring the iFolder server to the state it was in at the
time of the backup also reverts the iFolders on any connected iFolder clients to that same state.
IMPORTANT: All changes made since the time of the backup will be lost on all connected clients.
Consider the following implications of restoring iFolder data:
• Any new file or directory is deleted if it was added to an iFolder since the time of the backup.
• Any file that was modified is reverted to its state at the time of the backup.
• Any file or directory is restored if it was deleted since the time of the backup.
Before restoring the iFolder server, consider notifying all users to save copies of any files or
directories they might have modified in their iFolders since the time of the last backup. After the
iFolder server is restored, they can copy these files or directories back into their respective iFolders
1 Notify users to save copies of iFolders or files that have changed since the time of the backup
you plan to use for the restore.
2 Stop the iFolder server by entering the following command as root user:
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
3 Remove the following corrupted data:
• Simias store directory
The default location is
/var/opt/novell/ifolder3/simias
.
• Simias configuration file
The default locations are
/var/lib/wwwrun/.local/share/simias/
Simias.config
or
/home/wwwrun/.local/share/simias/
Simias.config
.

Use your normal file system restore procedures to restore the following data to its original
locations:
• Simias store directory
The default location is
/var/opt/novell/ifolder3/simias
.
• Simias configuration file
The default locations are
/var/lib/wwwrun/.local/share/simias/
Simias.config
or
/home/wwwrun/.local/share/simias/
Simias.config
.
5 Delete all files in the Simias log directory.
The default location is
/var/opt/novell/ifolder3/simias/log/*
.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to modify anything else under the Simias store directory.
6 Start the iFolder server by entering the following command as root user:
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
