Deleting files from network shares

[Curtis Hotzinger]

This has to be the dumbest thing I have run across. If an
Active Directory user deletes a file from a network share,
where does it go? Not into the Recycle Bin on the
server. Not into the Recycle bin on the local drive. The
whole purpose of having network drives is to make data
safer and easier to recover. Why redirect users My
Documents folders to a place where users can delete files
and then no one including the administrator can recover
them except from back up tape? Why set up a network share
for 20 users, if all it takes is for one of them to make a
mistake and lose the data for all of them? On my old
network there used to be this command called "SALVAGE"...
PLease tell me that there is a bucket where these files
go.

Nope, there isn't one, unless you make one yourself. On
my network there is such a bucket. Its called a TAPE
DRIVE. I would never run network storage for users
without a daily backup. because.. they always lose their
stuff. ALWAYS.
Remeber, the admin is the parachute.
And remember, the one constant with users in network
administartion is PEBKAC.
