Re: Upgraded without backup of datadir

Oops!  Sorry to hear that.   Yep, there is massive change to the data directory on a migration to 2.   Data directory now compatible only with 2.  And the db has also undergone massive changes.

If instance is a virtualized server, it's possible that server admin has a snapshot (ie, backup) that he/she could access to restore.  If remotely hosted, possible the hosting provider has a backup of your site.   The former only as good as the snapshot date.   The latter could involve some extra cost.   And, it's not only the data directory you need but a snapshot of the DB to match.

Other than those, know of no way to reverse it with any 'magic button'.

BTW, the process is a migration ... 1.9.highest should be used ... and one cannot hyperjump from 1.9.highest to 2.6.   Must migrate to a 2.2 first, then one (supposedly) can upgrade to 2.6 ... IF server meets PHP, MySQL requirements.

Hope you have at least course backups archived some where.

'spirit of sharing', Ken
