</div>

mistakenly deleted data in the directory on

```auto
/backrestrepo/nsi-backrest-shared-repo/backup/db/

```

the stanza ceased to exist

```auto
bash-4.4$ pgbackrest info
stanza: db
    status: error (missing stanza data)
    cipher: none

```

Is there a way to run a job to create a stanza?

Or some other way to create it?  
There is a primary and a standby database, there is a pod backrest-shared-repo with a removed directory

backup data is not needed, no old ones

UPD  
After some thought I realized that the stanza was not damaged)))

I lost my backups and also the backup.info file.

By the way, does anyone know where the stanza for pgbackuprest even exists?  
Мaybe in the form of a file? Or can I somehow get it like show config?

I think that everything was successfully resolved.  
I only had to recover the mistakenly deleted file backup.info.  
Similar neighboring clusters helped restore its contents. And another launch

```auto
pg_controldata -D /pgdata/dbname/

```

The checksum is suggested by pgbackrest itself.  
It says in error - you have one, but it should be like this.

I managed to make a backup after everything.  
Be careful when deleting files)))
