Hello,

We’re currently on version 7.22.6. Is there any way to restore or audit deleted requests (either in this version or 8.x?) - a user has deleted a significant amount of data from our development instance that we were in the middle of using for testing a new process.

We have the files still available on our application server under \Sites\wfgen\App\_Data\Files\EFormAspx, but is there a way to restore these to be available in the web front-end?

I don’t really think so. Those files in \Sites\wfgen\App\_Data\Files\EFormAspx are temp files. You will need to reconstruct all the relational database record for the deleted requests which cannot recovered from these temp files
