Restore Knime workflows

[mlauber71]

I can offer up these threads. Unfortunately if the workflows would not integrate themselves into KNIME like this you might have to revert to a backup.

Can you tell us more about your system and the circumstance where the data is being stored (is it some sort of cloud drive?).

Recover deleted documents

@nusoel welcome to the KNIME forum. First: you should always have an independent backup strategy including provisions for accidental deletion as well as version management and disaster recovery (in case the drive gets lost). Having said that: if the data is absolutely critical you should stop doing anything with the machine and contact a professional data recovery service (like Ontrack) since this might be the only chance to get the file back if all other measures fail. Professional recovery s…

Cannot open saved project from local computer

@farrarjonc1 thank you and hope your year is also going well. Two additional hints. Although unlikely in this case it is possible that you could have a problem with your hard drive or the handling of special characters. And lately I had the case where a workflow that was left open although previously saved disappeared. So backup and versioning is a thing. It was a windows server that would auto shut down the session and the left-open workflow did not survive. Additional hints can be found here…

Lost Workflow

Unfortunately there is not. The KNIME server does offer a trash can where you could restore workflows but the base version would just delete the workflow or even workflow group. I am not sure if you could configure a warning. Therefore you would have to rely on your own backup system or do an undelete (you might have to seek professional help). KNIME seems to be thinking about some sort of backup mechanism (AP-11335).
