Retrieve deleted pages

Hi All,

Suppose by mistake, thousands of pages in author are deleted. What would be the best way to retrieve them?
Probably the only details we would know is the approximate time, as to when it was deleted.
Any thoughts on this will be helpful.

Hi,

When you have a lot of deleted pages in many different locations, and you don't have any more details, you should create code, which reads the audit log and then tries based on various assumptions (timestamp, user) to restore a page. This is effort, but the case is rather unique.

kind regards,
Jörg

See this topic:

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/core/administering/backup_and_restore.html

if you did a backup of the data - you can restore it.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to Adobe Community.

Please go through the below link to know about restoring the pages through console: It can be used to restore a version of the page which was previously deleted.
