For some guests we use the LVM imagebackend and there are times when the guest is deleted on accident. Humans, being what they are, don't back up their files and don't take care of important data, so it is not uncommon to use lvrestore and "undelete" an instance so that people can get their data. Of course, this is not always possible if the data has been subsequently overwritten. But it is common enough that I imagine most of our operators are familiar with how to do it. So I guess my saying that we do it on a regular basis is not quite accurate. Probably would be better to say that it is not uncommon to do this, but definitely not a daily task or something of that ilk.
I have personally "undeleted" an instance a few times after accidental deletion also. I can't remember the specifics, but I do remember doing it :-). -Mike On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 12:46 PM, Johannes Erdfelt <johan...@erdfelt.com>wrote: > On Tue, Mar 11, 2014, Mike Wilson <geekinu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Undeleting things is an important use case in my opinion.
