Hi, i have a Alfresco installation in a computer and contentstore in external storage (NAS). I following the post and I succeeded:

NAS Solution for Content.Store

The problem: the computer where I installed Alfresco loose your HDD, and i only have contentstore stored in NAS. There is a possibility to recover the installation or at least the files.

Thanks a lot for attention.

Sorry but you can't recover your Alfresco data.

As Alfresco stores metadata in database, you have only the content store. That content store includes all your files classified in folders by year/month/day/... including a .BIN suffix. Although they are current files (if you change the extension to the right one, you are going to be able to open them), you have no idea about the name and other metadata.

You can install a new Alfresco using the same version you had and point content store to your NAS, but you need also database data. Where did you stored database? If using default installer, it was stored on your server HDD and Alfresco repository is definitively lost.

Hi Angel Borroy, thanks for fast response. Yes, i used default installer, my database was stored in failed HDD, and content.store is stored in a external storage (NAS). There any way to retrieve my files in content.store? Thanks a lot.

Hi Angel, thanks for your answer. I was thinking about your answer and in particular this part:

if you change the extension to the right one, you are going to be able to open them

So I was wondering: if I write a script that match the file name with its metadata in the database and change the suffix of the file I would be able to have a (large) backup of the entire repository.
Do you think it is sufficient just to change the suffix or I need to do more?
Thanks!
