Restore the Content Overridden from the other package

[patK-ze1xYs]

Had multiple pages under :

/content/a/b . 

Someone uploaded another package for the same content path  : /content/a/b. 

As I lost few content pages , is there a way to recover deleted pages ?

The best way is to re-install the package that contains original content. Do you have that package?

[patK-ze1xYs]

Unfortunately I did not create the package with original content. 

Is it possible to restore the repository for the particular date when it got replaced ? 

[kautuk_sahni]

I doubt that now we can get back original content.

The best practice is to always create a version of pages we are working on.

One option is to edit the journal.log by deleting the last few entries to take the repository to a previous state. This is a crude way of restoring and not sure if Adobe supports this approach. Take your Adobe support advice before trying this. 

For a try, you can take a copy of your AEM and try. Note, the journal.log does not provide any useful input for you to identify what updates have happened when. Its just a running sequence of unique id's. 

Note that this rolls back the complete repository to a state as of previous point in time and not just the nodes you are interested in. Similar to restoring from the backup for a previous state.

If you want to revert change of "one step back" i think that you can just only uninstall the package and you can return to the version before the last installation.

Let us know if this works.

Hi Kapil

Please try the approach mentioned by Antonio.

Try Un-installing the package and you can return to the last installed version.

Please share any other solution that you are trying.

The solution of "uninstalling" the package does resolve the problem. "During the uninstall, the contents of the repository are reverted to the snapshot made immediately prior to the installation of the package." from - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-guides/using/install-guide/on-prem-ig/...
