my memory served me right, you should've gotten an email titled: "Scheduled Volume Deletion", you'll be able to restore the database volumes there


22 days ago

one thing worth mentioning, however, is I believe when attached to databases like postgres the contents of the volume are encrypted based on your postgres credentials, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works. Do you happen to still have the credentials?

thanks @Fragly , but i didnt received any email regarding the scheduled volume deletion.

can you check to see if and by who your project was deleted?

yea i figured, I wonder if things deleted by Railway System don't get scheduled for deletion, and simply gets deleted


thwu1

that's pretty bad if true

IS that true even for all the volume backups?


22 days ago

I'm not sure, I'm testing now, oddly all remove actions seem to happen via Railway System rather than the user regardless, at least from my testing


22 days ago

volume backups I believe are tired to the service/volume, so deleting those deletes the backups too


22 days ago

I don't think there's anything more I can do unfortunately

are you 100% sure you didn't receive an email for scheduled volume deletion? maybe you have a different email that it was sent to?


thwu1

Yes, pretty sure I didn’t received anything in email

Are the volumes hiding somewhere else on the canvas? When I've deleted a service, the volume detached, and then hid somewhere off-screen

ah, the entire project is gone. not even able to open the canvas
