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


a month 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.


a month ago

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

that's pretty bad if true

IS that true even for all the volume backups?


a month 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


a month ago

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


a month 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


a month ago

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
