[Building Sakai] user deleted WEBDAV directory

There is the CONTENT_RESOURCE_DELETE table in the database that I could be  
used to identify the missing filename and original location within the  
content hosting tree.

I would think that you could use that to pull the data back from backup  
tape, but I am not sure what the process would be to get the meta data  
information for the files back into the CONTENT_RESOURCE tables to make  
the data accessible again from within Sakai...

This process could also be fairly awkward if you had to use it to bring  
back hundreds of missing files...

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Robert.
