How to setup a recycle bin for network drive?


Recommended Posts

Posted

As mentioned in the title, if I am using Windows 2003 Server, the client

deleted something at the netwok drive which is mapped from the server side,

no matter for the client or the server side, it is impossible to recover

easily! We may need 3rd party data recovery ssoftware to accomplish. If u

were lucky, u may recover the data from the shadow copy, but which may not

be the most updated or even the data would not be existed due to it was just

a scheduled task to do the backup!

 

So, I would feel interest to setup a recycle bin for the network drive.

Suppose we can recover from the recycle bin at the server side with one

click. Its a million times bettered the performance than the above!

 

Thanks for all the intelligentsia to share your experience!

take a look at volume shadow copy

it let's you as an admin or even a user recover files that were deleted

or overwritten

In short, you can't. Perhaps Shadow Copies would fit your needs?

Hello Ray,

 

Not possible for network drives. VSS is one way and you still have to create

a backup.

yes, thanks a lot, that's why I pointed out the current problems.

Actually, I suppose it wouldn't be difficult for microsoft if they can

provide one function like this!

The concept of Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is different from Recycle

Bin.

Once you create a file, u can recover the data after the deleteion even the

whole cycle is just within one minute!

But, VSS doesn't do the same. As I mentioned, its just a schedule which made

copies at a specified time.

Hi Ray

 

There is a third party program called Undelete by Executive Software for

servers which will do what you want. When a user deletes a file from the

server or there network share it saves that file to a special directory

which the Admin can restore. From what I understand it also saves versions

and you can schedule it to empty itself out as predefined times. I have not

used it but have looked into it as it looks pretty good for a safety net

in-between users time and backups. After the backup run the program

empties the contents and you exclude the undelete directory from your

backup.

 

Of course you need to test and make sure that there are no conflicts between

your backup software and Undelete.

 

Hope this helps
