Session Summary

Recovered missing PCB manufacturing print files for the SP1366 MAQ20 Communications Module (revisions E, F, G, H), reported missing by John Lehman. The files live on AD2 (Q: → \\ad2\c-drive → C:\Shares\c-drive) under DOCUMENT\DESIGN\SP\SP1366 MAQ20 Communications Module\{E,F,G,H}\PCB1366 REV <rev> PRINTOUTS FOR MANUFACTURING. The PRINTOUTS folders existed but contained only a TOP SIDE DRILL PANEL.PDF each; the LAYERS/PASTE/AD/CD/DG exports were gone. The same set existed for revs A (2010) and I (2024), and the Altium source .SchDoc files for E–H survived — only the exported PDFs were missing.

Confirmed no local recovery path: AD2 had no shadow copies; its MSP360 (ACG-branded "Online Backup") agent showed an image plan and a Files plan both "Never started" locally, but the MSP360 account view (api.mspbackups.com) showed the AD2 Image plan running daily. The breakthrough was a second backup set in the ACG-Dataforth storage: a file-level NBF backup ("Backup plan on 8/29/2025", bunch faad5a67) with restore points 8/29–9/29/2025. Browsing it (cbb.exe list -b <bunch> -rp <id> -path ...) found the files under D:\c-drive\... (the share's pre-migration physical path) — 19 of John's 20 files present (REV F's TOP PASTE LAYER absent in every backup; it never existed as a separate F export).

Established WHEN the files were lost via NTFS timestamps: the C:\Shares\c-drive tree was created 10/1–10/2/2025 by the post-ransomware recovery restore (Restore plan 10/1/2025, ~3.4M files). That restore brought back only the drill panel into each PRINTOUTS folder and dropped the rest — i.e. an incomplete recovery restore, not a later user deletion. Files were intact in backup through 9/29/2025. The image backup retention only reaches back to 5/6/2026 (post-loss), so it cannot contain them.

Restored the 19 files from HGHAUBNER's pre-attack backup (D:\DF C-Drive, accessible after Mike installed GuruRMM on HGHAUBNER) rather than the cloud backup — same files, no B2 egress. Cross-machine copy was blocked by Windows auth (SSH double-hop; WTS-impersonation tokens can't open fresh UNC). Solution: ran the copy on HGHAUBNER in user_session (as logged-in ghaubner), reading local D:\DF C-Drive and writing to his existing GPO-mapped Q: (→ \\ad2\c-drive) — local read + existing-mapping write needs no fresh auth. Verified 6 files/rev landed in the live C:\Shares\c-drive path. Created Syncro ticket #32385, billed 1.0 hr remote labor (prepaid → $0, block 35.5→34.5), resolved + invoiced.

Set up follow-on work and parked it: rescanned the GuruRMM fleet (grew 13 → 45 agents incl. servers AD1/FILES-D1/SAGE-SQL); prepared (but did not run) an AD1 Files backup plan matching AD2's (180-day retention); and scoped a broader migration-gap audit (WizTree both sides, ~8.7M files / 5.7 TB across 7 shares). Mike will run the WizTree-on-servers pass tomorrow. All parked state is in clients/dataforth/migration-gap-diff-RESUME.md.

Key Decisions

  • Restored from HGHAUBNER's local pre-attack backup rather than the MSP360 cloud backup — identical files, no B2 egress, and it independently cross-validated the cloud backup (both 19/20).
  • Ran the cross-machine copy on HGHAUBNER in user_session writing to an existing mapped drive, after both SSH-from-AD2 and AD2-side user_session failed (double-hop / impersonation has no network creds). Existing GPO mappings work in the impersonated token; fresh UNC does not.
  • Did NOT restore REV F's paste file — confirmed absent from both independent backups; framed it as "not in our backups under that name" rather than "never existed," per Mike's caution that the ask may be slightly off.
  • Moved the WizTree CSV (a sensitive full file-list) OFF the c-drive share into private C:\ClaudeTools on AD2 — it was wrongly staged in a share visible to all c-drive users.
  • For the broad migration-gap diff, chose WizTree-both-sides (MFT-fast, exact, CSV-to-CSV) over live RMM enumeration, given ~8.7M files. Catalog is review-only — no auto-restore, since some deletions were intentional and the HGH backup is additive-only.
  • AD1 backup: build fresh via addBackupPlan CLI (Mike's choice, option b), matched to AD2's real .cbb config (read SerializationSupportRetentionTime=180 days).

Problems Encountered

  • AD2's local cbb.exe reported the image/Files plans "Never started" and listIBBContent found "No disk image backups" — stale local repo view. Mike had me restart the Online Backup services; the list command then surfaced the file-backup bunch.
  • Path confusion: backup stored the share under D:\c-drive while the live share is C:\Shares\c-drive. Reconciled via NTFS metadata — the old D: data volume is gone (now a mounted Windows install ISO); the 10/1/2025 restore migrated the data to C:\Shares on the C: volume.
  • Cross-machine file copy repeatedly blocked by Windows double-hop / WTS-impersonation (no network creds). Resolved by running on the source machine in user_session and writing to an existing mapped drive.
  • Repeated bash-heredoc backslash mangling of PowerShell/Python — resolved by base64-encoding PowerShell (-EncodedCommand) and writing Python via the Write tool / chr(92) instead of literal backslashes.
  • WizTree export was in Georg's Documents, not Downloads as expected — found by listing largest files under the profile.
  • Coord API was unreachable for the parking todo — used a repo resume doc instead.

Configuration Changes

  • AD2 C:\Shares\c-drive\...\{E,F,G,H}\PCB1366 REV <rev> PRINTOUTS FOR MANUFACTURING\ — added 19 recovered PDFs (additive; existing files untouched).
  • AD2 C:\ClaudeTools\clients\dataforth\WizTree_20260604184904.zip — moved here (private) from the c-drive share staging; C:\Shares\c-drive\__wiztree staging folder removed.
  • AD2 Online Backup services — restarted (by request) to resync the local repo. No plan changes.
  • Repo: created clients/dataforth/session-logs/2026-06-04-session.md, clients/dataforth/migration-gap-diff-RESUME.md.
  • No AD1 backup plan created yet (command prepared, parked). No diff catalog written yet (parked).

Credentials & Secrets

  • AD2 SSH: sysadmin (INTRANET\sysadmin), vault clients/dataforth/ad2.sops.yaml → credentials.password (note: strip stray backslash).
  • HGHAUBNER: no SSH; reached via GuruRMM agent; logged-in user intranet\ghaubner.
  • MSP360 Managed Backup API: vault msp-tools/msp360-api.sops.yaml (api.mspbackups.com, /api/Provider/Login).
  • GuruRMM API: vault infrastructure/gururmm-server.sops.yaml. Syncro: per-user key (mike) in the syncro skill.

  2. Migration-gap diff — WizTree both sides tomorrow; diff CSV-to-CSV per share → clients/dataforth/migration-gap-catalog-2026-06-04.md. Backup-side CSV at AD2 C:\ClaudeTools\clients\dataforth\WizTree_20260604184904.zip.
  3. AD2 Claude capability updates (syncro/coord + DF wiki read-write + Dataforth data; its repo is C:\ClaudeTools).
  4. Dataforth wiki GuruRMM-enrollment section: update 13 → 45 agents.
  5. REV F TOP PASTE LAYER — John doesn't care; closed.
  6. Housekeeping: delete sensitive local copy GURU-5070 C:\Users\guru\AppData\Local\Temp\wiztree.zip after the diff.
