emergency - looking for daily / hourly backup #2091

Open OrielResearchCure opened 5 years ago

OrielResearchCure commented 5 years ago

Hello,

I am looking for code that I was writing for the last few days and didnt checked it in at any point(new notebook)

Based on the bellow explanation, I was looking at gs://myproject/datalab-backups/us-central1-b/... I couldnt find something from Novemeber, all backup names are from October (based on the file name), such as: daily-20181017162736

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to retrieve the file.

Many thanks, eilalan

To restore a backup, the user selects the backup file from Google Cloud Storage by examining the VM zone, VM name, notebook directory, and the human-readable timestamp. Sample backup file path: gs://myproject/datalab-backups/us-central1-b/datalab0125/content/daily-20170127102921 /tmp/backup0127.zip

Is the VM gone? What about its persistent disk? If you've saved the file to disk, even if you haven't pushed it to a git repo, it should still be there unless you've deleted the disk too.

the VM is available and the persistent disk is available. I used the ungit to check out files that another developer added. At some point I have decided to abort the check out (but probably didnt do it correctly). When the abort was completed, I wasn't able to see the files that I was working on for the last few days. Checking the datalab automatic backups that are available on the gs:// , I could find files that were updated less than a week ago. I am looking for a command that will allow me to copy / view the files that were changed in the last week on the persistent disk.

Thanks, eilalan

If you can already find the files on GCS, you can run !gsutil cp gs://myproject/datalab-backups/us-central1-b/... ~/mylocalpath in a notebook code cell to get the archive on your VM.
