Or is there anyway I can extract the Alfresco files and get my documents back ?

Is there anyway to skip that directory (only lose those files) and start up alfresco to get the other files out ?

Depends what files you have deleted.

Hi mrogers,
I want to ask if Alfresco has any once off pay support to fix the above error ?

You need to restore the files from backup. If you don't have a backup then unfortunately it is probably going to be hard work to recover.

No alfresco does not have a "once off" support. Support is provided for Alfresco Enterprise customers.

Hi mrogers,
I think I am in a really bad situation. The backup NAS hard drive failure a week before this happen and I found out the backup script wasn't work. Basically there is no backup for now.
Is there anyway to guide me to do the recover ?

If we are willing to move on from community version to enterprise version, will there be any support for data migration and solve the above issue ?

Sorry for asking too much questions. My boss is pushing me hard and need to know can we at least get some of the files back.

One thing to try would be turning "strict" mode off on the ConfigurationChecker bean. By setting system.bootstrap.config_check.strict=false in your alfresco-global.properties. That may get your repo up and running so at least you have access to your content.

Unfortunately you appear to be missing some important content. You may be able to patch in equivalent stuff from another instance of alfresco.

Unfortunatley you appear to be missing some important content. You may be able to patch in equivalent stuff from another instance of alfresco.

Hi mrogers
Thanks very much for your help. I can startup alfresco again and get the files out. There is an error shows in Share when I try to login. Will work on that error later on.
