New question #244182 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/244182

In FEB I have rolled back a VM with whisper files to a snapshot taken on JAN 
21st, and ever since I've been trying to properly restore the whisper files, 
without success. 
Probably the most unfortunate factor here was that my storage-schema regex was 
incorrect, and so it seems that I got one week of storage. I suspect that as 
soon as the VM was booted in FEB, carbon-cache immediately expired records from 
JAN.
Running a whisper-dump, I see that the data is still there, but I can't seem to 
display it in Graphite.

I can't seem to figure out Graphite uses both the datapoint timestamps together 
with file offsets, especially in my case where there seems to be a 
contradiction between the archive time span and the timestamps of the contained 
datapoints.

I would really appreciate, either an explanation of how it works, or better a 
solution to my problem.

here's the top of a whisper-dump

Meta data:
  aggregation method: sum
  max retention: 604800
  xFilesFactor: 0

Archive 0 info:
  offset: 28
  seconds per point: 60
  points: 10080
  retention: 604800
  size: 120960

Archive 0 data:
0: 1389889320,        921
1: 1389889380,        921
2: 1389889440,        921
3: 1389889500,        927
4: 1389889560,        927
