If I understand correctly, nothing has been deleted from the server it just isn't anymore in the working copy? If that is the case then assuming it wasn't too long ago or you do not mind redoing/merging the commits then you could take a copy of the trunk/branch prior to the delete and rename this back. The delete would still have occurred but on the branch that no longer matters and once you're happy that can be deleted too. This will only take up the space required for a few copies of the parent, nowhere near the 1TB of the content. Something like svn copy https://svnserver/svn/project/tr...@12345 \ https://svnserver/svn/project/trunkcopy svn move https://svnserver/svn/project/trunk \ https://svnserver/svn/project/trunkold svn move https://svnserver/svn/project/trunkcopy \ https://svnserver/svn/project/trunk -- __________________________________________________________________________________ Sword Ciboodle is the trading name of ciboodle Limited (a company registered in Scotland with registered number SC143434 and whose registered office is at India of Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, UK, PA4 9LH) which is part of the Sword Group of companies.
