Deleted files on server from workstation?

[Wet Dog]

Hi,

I've always had the question (but kept forgetting to ask) of where and how
to find a file that gets deleted on a server from a workstation. In an
experiment I used a recovery program to search both machines but was unable
to find the file. I could have missed it of course but what's the consensus
on where the file exists and how to get at it?

Thanks,

Mike

The only place to find it would be on a server backup.

When you delete a file across the network it is deleted. It is not put
into the recycle bin of either the client or the server.

It's likely gone. But of course you have the server backed up, right?

As I said, it was a question I always had and the file I deleted was an
experiment. Yes, I am a good little network admin and
backup my servers.

Besides backups, make sure you're using Volume Shadow Copy services on your
data volume. This is a lifesaver.

Re: Deleted files on server from workstation?

Hello Wet,

Files deleted over the network you can recover form a backup, no other way.
It will not be in the recycle bin, either from server or client. Maybe there
is another way with file recovery tools directly on the disk.
