Could you explain why, and also, i have a terastation that is a raid 5, deleted files goes to the terastation's recycle bin!. Is there something i can setup on the server to act like a terastation so they won't delete? Or is there something i can do to prevent that. I would think that microsoft would do something about accidental deletion, which i'm sure happens all the time around the world.
Also again :-D, if i make client's part of the domain, they still store their files locally unless i create a roaming profile, but if i don't, and they are mapped, will they still be deleted?
Thanks

i see what you mean
I understand what you mean , unfortunately , you'll find that when you hit delete (from a client machine), you'll be presented with the same prompt as you would be with a shift-delete. The file goes bye bye no undo, no recycling bin.
You may want to try a utility like sysinternals fundelete (it recovers items deleted at a cmd prompt) not sure if it will work for this situation, but worth a try.
another option is to remove the right to delete from the users. and make a folder named Recycle bin, and let them "move" the files to that network folder. (you can even make that a "send to" destination when you right click on a file) Then you manage the "recycle folder" deleteling items over 6 mo old or so.

Shadow copy as a backup
Ever looked into setting up Shadow copy on the effected data volumes?
You can also setup folders/files to only be deleted by their creators through file rights.

recycle bin
windows only uses recycle bins for drives it considers local. So if you delete a file on your desktop: recycle bin. Delete a file on your server: permanent delete.
The Terastation differs because it probably uses a custom Operating System (not windows based) and has something built in (NovaBACKUP?) that when it receives a command to delete a file, it intercepts and just moves the file to a "recycle bin" instead.

The definition of "delete"
For a filesystem is to mark sectors free for usage by the OS. To be in the recycle bin those sectors have to be under local OS control to be guaranteed a place in purgatory (somewhere between in-use and free.) I suppose you could do a similar request to the remote OS but it would be in a recycle bin on the machine which is physically controlling those sectors.
