Hello everyone, A collection was accidentally deleted in our repository and we've restored it using an AIP (see this thread <https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/uspAAoD9hK4/m/JsciwqDyAAAJ> for Part I of this adventure).
Tragically, when the collection was restored, new handles and internal ids seem to have been assigned to all the items. As a result, DOIs assigned to the items no longer resolve and the statistics history for these items has disappeared. Our systems analyst believes we can get back the old handles and related statistics using Force Replace mode: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore#AIPBackupandRestore-ForceReplaceMode However, we see this has a significant warning attached, a la 'because this mode actually destroys existing content in DSpace, it is potentially dangerous and may result in data loss!' I assume we'd lose any modifications made to items since the creation of this AIP that are included in both this collection and a non-deleted collection. Are there any other issues we need to be aware of in running this mode? Crossposting to DSpace Slack.
