How to restore data from a decomissioned node?

How To


Summary

It is possible to restore data from a deactivated node but some restrictions apply. The data needs to still exist on the server, that is, it is not expired yet. Since all data for a decommissioned node is deactivated, the data gets a "deactivation date" assigned at the time of the decommissioning. The expiration process evaluates the deactivation dates and management class attributes of the entries and removes the files that are past retention. Once removed, that particular version of the file can no longer be restored, and the procedure described here would not help either.
