Does NT have a SALVAGE command like Novell does or is there third party software that does the same? If so, what is the third party software?

If you delete files in NT they should be in the recycle bin. There is no unerase command in NT.

A utility we use is Norton Utilities to recover deleted files.

If you are sitting at the server console and delete files you can recover them from the recycle bin. If your users delete files from the server over their network connection, there is no native recovery ability.
As previously mentioned, Norton hasan undelete utility. The best undelete program I have seen is one sold by Sunbelt Software called UNDELETE. You can find UNDELETE at: http://sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=456

Not real sure, been a while since I got into this. Deleted a 'realy important file' from Win NT DOS session. Doesn't go to the Recycle. I found a FreeWare, FUNDELETE from http://www.sysinternals.com/. Works pretty good. It catches EVERYTHING so you have to empty a lot. Configurable, by drive, where deleted files are kept, how much disk to allocate, enable/disable, etc. I run it all the time 'just in case'. It isn't uncommon to get 20-30mb on a 3-4 hours surfing session, depends on whatyou access, cache size, etc.
