Hi, It's up to you to take backups of your data. We take regular backups of the datastore, but we're unable to restore individual users' data. -Nick Johnson On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 5:22 AM, DiveIntoGAE wrote: > >If I delete some important datas by mistake, how can I recover > them? > > >

Thanks - those links to ways of recovering source-code. What I'm interested in is hearing Google's recommendation on backing up and restoring data. GAEBAR is an option, I know. Is the official advice from Google to use it? Backing up and restoring of data seems to be a significant-enough issue

Hi johnP, GAEBAR is certainly one option. The other option is to use the bulk exporting functionality of appcfg.py. Or, you can roll your own using remote_api. -Nick Johnson On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 7:24 PM, johnP wrote: > > Thanks - those links to ways of recovering source-code. > > What I'm in

The issue with appcfg.py exporting is that you need to write an Exporter class per entity, etc, etc. It's prone to errors not to mention that it's a fair amount of work. Any professional web endeavor requires contingency plans to recover data in case there is an app error that incorrectly delete

Any backup/restore that Google can provide should be much more reliable than any roll-your-own system; especially when dealing with the limitation of 1000 entities/query; no long-running-processes, etc. It's important functionality. It almost feels weird to be saying something this basic and obv

Considering Google Reader can't tell me how many unread stories I have when the number is over 1000, I wouldn't count on Google having secret technology that bypasses the limits of BigTable. On Jul 31, 1:19 pm, johnP wrote: > Any backup/restore that Google can provide should be much more > relia

If data is deleted mistakenly or even intentionally can be restored if you have prepared yourself with the backups of that data. If not having backup then with third party data recovery tools, data files can be recovered easily. Various file recovery softwares are available and you can try one nam
