Employee Deleted Files Off the Share Drive

[Aimster]

Basically someone at work went on the share drive and deleted everything that was not in a folder.
I think this was done on purpose but the higher-ups don't think so or simply don't care.

No way do I see someone selecting 50+ files and 'accidentally' deleting them while ignoring the folders.
Has this ever happened to someone at work?

It was done on purpose. I guarantee it. Hunt this employee down and teach him a lesson he'll never forget.

because if it isn't protected, it doesn't deserve to be there. oh, and the fact i was an asshole and couldn't stand the director of our IS/IT department. anything to make their life miserable, i was there.

Shadow copies in Server 2003 make this an easy issue to fix. If this fails, I just use Asigra to restore it back to whatever generation is requested. Asigra is pretty darn awesome especially now having multiple vaults replicating between each other in different states. This product has made one part of my life easier thankfully!

Don't you back them up? Why is this even an issue?
