loading a 4.3 repository into 4.4 without a database back up

Postby 000generic » Sun Jun 09, 2013 8:44 pm

I previously had Omero 4.3 running on a Mac, with the associated data repository located on an external hard drive. The Mac was later wiped clean. Although the data repository remained untouched, the Omero database was not backed up prior to wiping the computer and was lost.

I now have Omero 4.4.8 running on the same Mac computer using Homebrew for its installation. I'm trying without success to use my new 4.4 installation of Omero to access my old 4.3 data repository. Is this possible to do given that I lack a backup of the original database?

I've tried configuring my new installation of Omero 4.4 to use the original 4.3 data repository:

omero config set omero.data.dir /externalHardDrive/originalDataRepository

and the command appears to be successful based on

omero config get

However, when I log into Omero as root user, there is no data present. Is there any way for me to recover/load the 4.3 data repository, either using Omero or by some other means?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Eric

No, I'm sorry. There's no way to recover from the loss of the PostgreSQL database.

Our apologies,

Ahhh, that's what I suspected. Thanks for your reply - and for all the hard work by everyone on OMERO.
