Unfortunately the volumes store just the pages and electronic files. The database contains entry names, folder structure, and how pages combine to form documents, not to mention metadata, annotations, permissions, etc. It's not impossible to rebuild from just the volumes, but there is no automatic process for it - someone will have to look at pages and know where they go.

Do you have backups from before the migration? It might be easier to start there and re-do the migration.

Hi, well, this will sound a little fool but last version only use electronic files... so I got the folder with all the Efiles, I think if there is a way to rebuild only toc table would be great..metadata is a problem but well after a server crash, all security systems fail... even the back up servers, anything I recover would be fine :)

Yes Miruna, I got a backup but rigth now is 3.7 gb bigger than befores, so all the documents the clients loaded will be lost... that will be if nothing else is posible...

Right, but at least you'd only have to re-create the documents from the images added since the migration.

True. Lets see if the client want to continue using our solution after this... .
