User deletes Requirements Manager folder -- Are there recovery possibilities aside from db restore?
User claims to have "accidentally" deleted a folder. From trying this myself, the user is warned and has to click a check box and click OK before the delete occurs. AND the warning says "folder and all artifacts"
I find 193 items in resource.resources table that are marked archived, modified since midnight today. All modified_by are the submitter of the case we received.
I poked about and don't see any UI way to restore or find the folder.

Such functionality is still pending for a future release.

Restoring from a DB backup is the only way to go. You can use some creatively ways to minimize the impact of loss of data (if any) - you can restore the data into a staging environment, export the now deleted artifacts in ReqIF format, and import them into the production environment. If it does not work (due to the same UUIDs), you can also try CSV format but you will not have the same artifact IDs any more.
