Hello

hear my story, by mistake i delete the folder data, from the server, done cant be recovered. I setup backup to daily but I forgot that don't work with out the amazon information. I have all the url links and profiles, all the media is gone. i know i know golden rule always backup.

i will upload the mp3 to the server i can do that in a few hours, but what is gonna kill me is the image cover for every song because all the song on the system have a default image on it, when I upload the the song, image wont be generated,

1. so my question is the follow, how generate all the images on the profile audio from mp3s fast if is posible

2. how can I modify the audio module and add a option to generate the image cover, (like a check mark do you want use mp3 art)

3. I haven't try to delete images from the tables in my sql (right now am mad not a good idea to work mad, i will check that tomorrow.)

4. can you make the backup and restore to work with ftp too. i have other server i can use for backup storage,


all help will be welcome, go easy on me. lol

Check with your hosting company, they should have backups of your entire system.

Yes jamroom has its own tool to do backups yourself:

"Db and System Backup"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/1510/db-and-system-backup

But your hosting company probably has their backups too. On Jamroom Hosting you can restore by yourself by going to the "Restore From Backup" tool in your HOSTING location. (screenshot)
So check with them, we store each day for the past week, and another one about a month old.

So check that out first before taking any more time on other things.

If that proves an impossibility we can move forward with sorting your system out.

Hello Michael

the bad part i own my on dedicated and for some reason i never activate the backup option on the server,
i have the backup module but i can use it because i don't have Amazon S3. as i have enough space in my server second harddrive.

so my only solution is to reupload the mp3 to the existing urls, but what is going to kill me is the cover i dont have a jpg or png of the song covers everything is on the mp3 meta data. and there is no option to reset all images from songs, or extract them from the mp3.

ps i dont have jamroom backup.

thank you.
