This is just to keep everyone informed of the status of this restore project.
Every step is very long and time consuming due to the II having over 30,000 files.
I found some of the missing missing files from the installation on an older server we were using.
I am recovering files from the current server disk that were deleted from the II. It looks very promising.
Tomorrow night we will backup the current DB, restore and old one and get a good report of the missing files, then restore the current DB for the morning.
We will then run a relink utility that AC has for the previously missing files that are now found.
The final step is to compare the missing links report to the files found. That will tell us what is still missing.
During the day I am working with Craig. Tomorrow during the day we will try to ascertain what could have caused this.
I will keep everyone posted. Many thanks to your assistance so far!
