Windows server sbs file recovery
Need help to recover a complete directory that I deleted. I was connected to a server using a shared drive in a workstation.
The directory I deleted was on that shared drive. When I tried to recover the file there was nothing on the recycle bin of the server or the one in the workstation. Is there something that can be done?
My customer has no update backups.
Kind regards

Chakko, can you tell me if the software you recommend GetDataBack will soei on a Windows 2003 sbs? I have been reading the editor's page and i could not be sure of tuia.
I think it should work. I used it on 2003 Server before. If you download the free trial then I think you can scan the disk and check what it finds. The paid version is for recovering files. It's could be slow during the scan phase so have some time available (couple of hours or more, my guess).

I had to buy GetDataBack for NTFS but this software worked just fine and without any errors.
First thing you should do is never install the software on the drive you have files to recover.
