Tragic data loss, need help

my mbl(3t version) can’t be accessed from internet, so i followed these steps to reset the connection setup:

  1. telnet to mbl by putty, login as root
  2. go to /usr/local/sbin/ directory
  3. execute the following command: ./factoryRestore.sh noreformat
  4. reboot

after i finished these steps, the connection was fixed, the drive can be accessed from internet, but a tragedy happenned: all the folders i created before was gone, yet the default folders still exist as well as the files in them.

i put some important family photos in the missing folders, is it possible to get them back?

thanks for reading my question.

Yep, login to the dashboard and add the shares back under shares.

If you can’t remember the shares names, login to the MyBookLive with putty again and do this

cd /shares
ls

That will list the shares you created in the dashboard before you reset it.

Hi,

Very glad you got your stuff back :slight_smile:

Now you’ve got the chance, back up those photos in a few other places!

I’ve got 2 copies on my PC, 2 more hidden around the house and one more at a friends place… oh and at work too :slight_smile:

All those baby pics… I’d be heart broken if something happened. I’m even prepared for fire and burglary :slight_smile:
