Deleting Folders

Dear All

I hope you might be able to assist me, I had a user delete an entire folder by mistake today over the network form a shared drove on the network. Unfortunately I only back up every 12 hours so a days works was lost as it wasn't in either recycle bin, I want to know if it is possible at the route for the folder to stop all users from deleting folders or what would be best practice?

Thanks

Yes you can set permissions that would deny users delete rights(including rename)
Your best is to quickly run undelete/getdataback or use test-disk to see which files it can see and restore to a different location what can be restored.

How is the share deployed domain based share or server based shared, in a domain based shared, if you configured shadow copies, you might be able to restore the folder/files from that snapshot.

Time sensitive you should have already ran the undelete/recoveryon the server where the share resides......

The share is on a domain, permission I will worry about later but you mention undelete/getdataback is that a feature or is that software your suggesting?

It is software that needs to Be run on the server as soon as possible to avoid data loss following new writes overwrites the space where the files were.
