Dumb question - Deleted folder

[dgbaker]

Folks,
A user deleted a folder yesterday. I have a back up done on the server daily. But I just can not remember where the actual files "docs" are stored.
Any ideas? Not in the DB are they, more of links?

The physical files are in the data directory structure you defined in conf.Settings.php, the database has the information to get to the file and the true name of the file.

Data directory example /home/user/data/10234443/1/1/1.file
database example filename realname.file -> 1.file

You would need to restore the files and the database records associated to them.
