Actually, I am not sure if we have a backup, because honestly, I am not that very much familiar with Centos. We use it for our mail sever for zimbra and other web servers but after setting it up, as long it is working just fine we don't do any other thing. Does it have an automatic backup system? And if it does, how can we use it to restore it back? Thanks.

there is no such as automatic backup. if you are not familiar with system, you should hire consult and fast to minimize damages. doing low level disk level operations to system.. is very.. dangerous without knowledge Eero 3.11.2016 4.07 ap.

If the drive is not usable in its current state, and you do not have backups, you may need to bring it to a professional drive recovery shop. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
There is software out there which will rebuild. It is advanced level, so I would concur with the others to take it to a professional data recovery service. Most importantly at this moment is to remove the hard drive, or at least shut down the server to minimize the read/write to the disk. The more writes done the less likely recovery will be possible. Also, know whether you just want to recover data or rebuild the OS structure. Former is easier/cheaper than the latter in most cases. -- Fred On Wed, Nov 2, 2016 at 10:20 PM, Keith Keller < kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us> wrote:> On 2016-11-03, Christopher G.
