I updated my server through the Software Update control panel and I forgot to make a backup of the content of the Web Server folder. Everything has been erased.
Is there a way to recover my folder ?

In advance I thank you for your precious help.

I don't know.
Is the 10.1.5 for Server out because the control panel told me that the update for MacOS Server 10.1.5 should be done.
I wonder if this is not the problem ...

This is also not meant to be offensive but I always have an offline backup of any published resource for problems such as these. I mean, what if you had a drive failure or an accidental removal of a directory? If you can't find your files then when you redo it put it all into source control and backup the repository regularly. If it takes more than a couple of hours to recover a production server from a fatal error than it's trouble waiting to happen (or may have already happened...)

Yes I know.
The problem is that one of my employees did that mistake (not doing a backup).
