I have some staff who mistakenly deleted a large sum of data in a hosted feature service in our Enterprise that I would like to be able to restore from a backup we took, but we have other feature services that have been active between the backup and now that I don't want to lose out on. Is this even possible?</P> Thu, 14 Nov 2024 19:33:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/access-specific-feature-services-in-data-store/m-p/1558827#M40977 mattkramer 2024-11-14T19:33:20Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/access-specific-feature-services-in-data-store/m-p/1560574#M41014 <P>Do you have machine snapshots available?</P><P>If so, restore to a previous snapshot, use Group Export to export the affected feature service as an EPK file, then revert to the current snapshot and import the EPK file.</P><P>If you have webgisdr backups, then you can achieve the same thing as above.</P><P>If you don't have any webgisdr backups, you could still take a roundabout method to achieve the same goal.
