Notify users that they can return their saved files to their iFolders for upload to the server.
Users should coordinate this with other members of the iFolder to avoid competing updates.
7.8 Recovering Individual Files or Directories
1
Collect information that uniquely identifies the file or directory to be recovered, such as a
combination of the following:
• iFolder name, such as MyiFolder
• iFolder owner
• iFolder member list
• Relative path of the file or directory, such as
/MyDir1/MyDir2/myfile.txt
• Time stamp or approximate time of the version desired
• Other files or directories in the iFolder
2
Open a Web browser to iManager, then log in with your Admin username and password.
3
Under Roles and Tasks, expand
Novell iFolder 3
, select
iFolders
, then wait for the page to
refresh.
4
If prompted, connect to the iFolder server where the iFolder is stored by entering the name of
the iFolder server and iFolder Admin user credentials as needed.
5
On the Search for iFolders page, search for the target iFolder, such as
MyiFolder
.
6
Under Search Results, click the
Name
link of the target iFolder, then note the path to its root
directory. For example:
/var/opt/novell/ifolder3/simias/SimiasFiles/62ba1844-6987-47fc-
83ab-84bbd5d6130b/MyiFolder
7
On the iFolder server, use your normal file system restore procedures to restore the target file or
directory from backup to a temporary location.
For example, restore
/var/opt/novell/ifolder3/simias/SimiasFiles/
62ba1844-6987-47fc-83ab-84bbd5d6130b/MyiFolder/MyDir1/MyDir2/
MyFile
to
/tmp/MyFile
.
IMPORTANT:
Do not restore the file to its original location, or to any location under the
Simias store directory.

Use one of the following methods to restore the recovered file to the target iFolder:
• Via E-Mail:
Send the restored files or directory to the iFolder owner or to any member
who has the Write right to the iFolder.
For example, e-mail the recovered file, such as
/tmp/MyFile
, to the user. A user with
the Write right can restore the file to an iFolder simply by copying it back to the
appropriate location on an iFolder client. For example, copy
MyFile
to
/home/
username
/MyiFolder/MyDir1/MyDir2/MyFile
.
• Via Web Access:
In iManager, expand the
Novell iFolder 3
role, select
Folders
, search
for the iFolder you want to manage, and then click the
Name
link for the iFolder. On the
iFolder page, click
Members
, then add yourself as a member of the target iFolder.
In a Web browser, log in to iFolder 3.
