Description 
Some Aleph files (such as, /exlibris/aleph/u22_1/xxx01/publishing files) were overwritten. How can they be restored (at an Ex Libris Hosted site)? 

Resolution 
Daily snapshots are saved in the /exlibris/.snapshot/ directory (a hidden directory). To see them do: 

>cd /exlibris/.snapshot/ 
../exlibris/.snapshot>ls -lrt

(Note that the timestamp is not meaningful. The date of the snapshot can be seen as ...daily_20150630...,etc.) 

cd to the desired directory within the desired snapshot and copy the files to the desired location.
