• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

File Server Questions - Deleted Files

I have a Windows 2003 Server... if one of my desktop users deletes a file from a shared folder, it goes "bye bye"... is there a way to prevent this, we don't care if someone deletes something, but is there a way they can go into a network "recycle bin" rather then just going gone for good? Sometimes a user accidently deletes a file, and then we have to load the backups.
 
I think it requires Shadow Volumes, but can they right click in the directory, and look at the "previous versions" tab? If setup, they can yank the file from an earlier copy of the volume.
 
using Shadow Copy would be your best bet.
although there may be some 3rd party tools to prevent files from getting deleted for good, I haven't looked in to that.
