A practical Hostilla.pl example
Before deleting files or restoring data, establish the affected account, directory, database and time range. Replication should be assessed together with available disk space, backup retention and a tested recovery target.
What should you check?
- which files, databases or mailboxes are affected
- current quota and the size of the data set
- available backup dates and retention
- a safe restore destination and a post-restore test
