Recovering Group Enrollments?

[abunag]

So...we just experienced a rather catastrophic failure in our enrollments.  An incomplete Enrollment file was sent to Canvas, which only had about 25% of our enrollments on it.  After significant work, we were able to recover, and it appears we've been able to re-enroll everyone.  However, that doesn't include Groups enrollments.  So everyone is back in their courses, but not their course's groups.  Has anyone else encountered this kind of issue?  How did you recover?  What safeties have you put into place to prevent this issue?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Make sure you get into your beta environment before tomorrow's refresh and download all provisioning reports having to do with Groups. That should give you the info you need to restore the Group memberships (although we've never had that particular issue, we've restored lots of other things from beta data).

EDIT: Keep in mind that any additions to Groups that were made since last Saturday's beta will be lost.

Unfortunately we keep our enrollments up to date on Beta and Test, so we ended up nuking them too.  The groups still exist, there's just no one in them.
