      So, if you have a full backup of a disk image.. kick off a restore and do not power it on. Just get a VHD file. Then load up a LiveCD. Linux Mint is handy for this. Attach that VHD to the VM that has the LiveCD. Boot to Linux Mint and it will likely auto-mount the restored VHD. Now you can navigate it like a normal file system and restore individual files. Keep the LiveCD VM handy because this is a standard process for doing this kind of file restore.

        @travisdh1 nope 😕

        Uck. Do you know the type of file system (xfs, ext3, ext4, zfs)?

        ext4

          I've played with Turnkey linux, and its scary how easy of a process those guys have made those systems.

          Sooooo EASY! You miss everything that you really need to know about the system in every case.

          That's scary.

          Ya it's nice to see final configs and how they (possibly) should look but to run it in an environment is kind of concerning. Esp when each image has webmin installed by default.

          For example the openldap image has some php web interface to manage ldap. That's fairly concerning to me. It would take more work to rip it out than to just set it up properly.

            ext4

            I'd try extundelete then. Be sure to read the man page for usage, I haven't used it before myself.

              Seems to be the case across the board

                If no backups, is it possible they have this?

                  We probably have a backup. The guy who made it is on vacation so we are waiting to hear back from him. It's most likely the entire VM though.

                                          I've played with Turnkey linux, and its scary how easy of a process those guys have made those systems.

                                          Sooooo EASY! You miss everything that you really need to know about the system in every case.

                                          @scottalanmiller How would this be any different than using something like NETHSERVER? Aren't the use cases the same, people who want a simple web interface to setup linux servers without having the knowledge of how things are really set up?

                                          I've not looked at turnkey but n i've not looked at turnkey bye nest server nethserver is for managing applications on the operating system not for managing the operating system

                                          Turnkey just offers Debian based images with preinstalled software, managed by Webmin and the default admin page of the webapp.

                                            Normally I can understand your point... but damn this is difficult this morning.

                                            I'm lost.
