I dont have backup what should I do ? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-recover-a-deleted-form#post-7901 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:20:17 +0000 Carl Hancock 7901@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>BackupBuddy to the rescue! Great plugin, we use it here also. Another thing you can do is export your forms regularly so you have a copy of them as XML. This doesn't backup your entries but is handy for backing up your forms themselves. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-recover-a-deleted-form#post-7899 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:02:17 +0000 David 7899@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Cool. For everyone out there, I found the Backup Buddy plugin worked really well to recover my form. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-recover-a-deleted-form#post-7851 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 10:48:37 +0000 Carl Hancock 7851@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No, once a form is deleted the only way to recover it is via database backups. We may introduce a trash functionality in the future, but even then if you fully delete a form you won't be able to recover it easily. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/how-to-recover-a-deleted-form#post-7842 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:10:16 +0000 David 7842@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there any way to recover a deleted form? </p>
