Redundant Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hey Folks, I deleted the wrong order and needed to recover it if possible. Couldn't find anything on the Forum or Wiki. Restored the whole database. This was my first experience with a deletion, and it eliminated the Domain, Invoice, and everything. Quite a lot attached to an order deletion. My Question is: Does anyone has experience restoring a Deleted Order or can point me to a recovery procedure? I haven't gone Live yet, so restoring the database was not a big deal. But once we're live I can see this being a lousy option. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbenoit Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Unless you took a backup AFTER the order was placed, I don't believe you're going to be able to restore it. Personal Opinion: It's best to not delete orders (or anything, really). Simply Cancel them (or set to Fraud if that is the better status). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 One of the rules of db design is that you never delete anything rather mark it deleted so one should always be able to 'undelete' a delete action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Edit your Administrator Roles to prevent deleting orders. If you really, really need to delete one, you can go in and enable it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
