Recover Lost Notebook

praful — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 04:45:53 GMT

Hi Team, I was using Databricks community edition for learning purpose. I had an account https://community.cloud.databricks.com/?o=6822095545287159 where I stored all my learning notebooks. Unfortunately, this account suddenly stopped working, and I can no longer log in. As a result, I have lost access to all my notebooks.

Is there a way to recover the notebooks from this account?

I have since created a new Community Edition account with the same email, but none of my old notebooks are available in the new account. Here are the links to both accounts for reference:

This is my old account - https://community.cloud.databricks.com/?o=6822095545287159

This is my new account- https://community.cloud.databricks.com/?o=1207557938957247

Happened to me as well. Earlier Community Edition used to login to a workspace. Instead now it goes via Account Console and having to signup to AWS Trial and Create Databricks workspace via account console.

I wasn't able to login to https://community.cloud.databricks.com/login.html? - Even after Authentication.

I started fresh registration, signed up for trial. Created new workspace.. Thinking it'll try map to my old s3 bucket in backend or somehow I'll get access to old snapshot of my notebooks.. But in vain. I can't find those notebooks/folders.

Can Databricks help me recover old workspace? I don't even remember the workspace id though.

Do you have by any chance the workspace id that was associated with your locked out workspace?

I didn't note my CE workspace ID.. But checking the old Emails. Login links are - https://community.cloud.databricks.com/login.html?o=5188104106431940

Also Login Page - https://community.cloud.databricks.com/login.html?tuuid=f6bd2f8b-4e00-4e4f-821d-12654236bcb4

these number after O seems to be workspace ID, Not sure tuuid represent anything ?

I have emailed to databricks-community@databricks.com as well.

The workspace id you have shared seems to be related to a workspace which is still in running state, if you missed the login access to this workspace then our team you have reached over email would be able to assist.

I will add the following doc for steps in case you cannot logging to CE so you and new users with same issue can check: https://community.databricks.com/t5/support-faqs/databricks-community-sso-august-3rd-2024/ta-p/78459
