edutech4schools Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 It looked like someone had deleted a folder full of work from the server so I went to restore from a backup but the restore asked if I wanted to overwrite the missing folder. So it looks like the folder is not missing but hidden from view. I have been in to folder settings and enabled things like 'show hidden files' etc but still the folder is hidden. I ran a restore but still not viewable. Any pointers how to fix this oddity.
kmount Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Can you browse to the path directly (ie, \\server\share\name_of_folder) to prove it is hidden but 'there'?
edutech4schools Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 yes browsing to the share displayed the files.
edutech4schools Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 managed to display a grayed out folder by ticking 'display protected operating system files' but when I right click on the grayed out folder and go to properties the hidden box is ticked and grayed out.
edutech4schools Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 All sorted. Once I could see the folder I deleted it and the did the restore.
