To recover specific data on Drupal 8, follow these steps:
1. Check if there is a backup of the website: Before attempting to recover any data, check if there is a backup of the website. If there is a backup, restore it to recover the lost data.
1. Use the Drupal Backup and Migrate Module: The Backup and Migrate module is used for backing up and restoring the database. If you have a backup of the database, you can use this module to restore the data.
1. Use SQL Queries: If you know which table the lost data was in, you can use SQL queries to retrieve it. First, make a backup of the database. Then, connect to the database using PHPMyAdmin or another tool and run the query to retrieve the data.
1. Use Drupal’s Revision History: Drupal’s Revision History feature allows you to view and restore previous versions of content. If the lost data was a node or a piece of content, you can try to restore it from the Revision History.
1. Use Drupal’s Log Messages: Drupal logs all system messages, including database errors. Check the log messages to see if there are any error messages related to the lost data. If there are, you can try to restore the data from a backup or manually using SQL queries.
1. Contact a Drupal Developer: If all else fails, you may need to contact a Drupal developer who can help you recover the lost data. They can use advanced methods to recover the data, but this may come at a cost.
