Hammer history question
So I accidently deleted one of my worksheets. How do I find out modification
history of the file and the necessary transaction id?
Ive look at hammer history but it doesnt seem to show me anything but the
last modification

report4.ods
report4.ods 000829bb8510 clean {
00086128f420 13-Nov-2008 17:57:06
}
even though I modified the file at least 5 times this week and hammer cleanup
hasnt been run since last sunday.
What to do?

Don't know if that works for already deleted files, but at least for
modified files, you should be able to view the changes made to that file
by using undo.

If you want to recover the file, just look into the latest snapshot directory on your partition. Here its /home/snapshots/snap-20081121-0301/ for the latest snapshot of my /home partition. The problem is, no snapshot has been created in the last 6 days. Petr

Try:
undo -i report4.ods
If hammer cleanup hasn't been run automatically and you ran it manually
you may have lost the fine-grained history. i.e. hammer cleanup
would lay down the new snapshot and then clear everything between the
previous one in the snapshots directory and the new one. If the previous
one was 6 days ago, then any intervening history will be removed.
hammer cleanup has to be run regularly (from cron) if you want
consistent daily snapshots.

All you need is a transaction id from the right time to create the snapshot now. You may want to try what I had described in http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2008-10/msg00095.html It is not as accurate as it could be, but it worked for me in a similar case.
