I have a user(no longer with us) who deleted files on their workstation. W2K. They have been deleted and deleted from the recycle bin.
Is there a way to undelete these files? Without using backup software. These packages were not part of our backup strategy.
Is it easy? and if so... what is the process?
Do I need third party software?

In the undelete process...if any... will there be a date attached. It would be good to know when the user deleted these files.. for future action against them. There are quite a few questions here and I need real specific answers to all of them. It would be good to enter the info into one of our manuals for future use. We have been having a lot of this happening lately

Thanks
Merv

Use EasyRecovery. I talk from first hand experience, where a malicious script deleted my PST file (Outlook mail database file) which was over 500 MB. And I got back over 50% of it in good shape. Easy Recovery's advanced options let you ensure 100% recovery. It is a Ontrack product.

Thanks,

Here's a third party vendor for you - pretty neat stuff, basically they have a cache type solution. www.commvault.com 732 870 4000

I saw a demo of this. The guy deleted all these files, and then was able to instantly restore everything deleted.

I was at the show looking for other things, but I was impressed enough to mention it to others.
