| Recovering File Deleted From DFS
Does anyone know if you can recover a file that was deleted from a DFS share. Using Win2Kk Server and XP Pro workstations. When you delete a file from a DFS it doesn't go to the recycle bin, I've also checked to see if it was stored on the server somewhere and I couldn't find it there either. Your help is appreciated. |

Deleting a file from dfs share is like deleting a file with shift pressed. It deletes it from the disk.
The only way to recover a file deleted that way is to use a recovery software, like easy recovery from ontrack. That is, if nothing has been written over the file.
In case a portition/whole file has been overwritten you will probably end up with corrupted/useless file.

Check out this quote from their website:

Finds partitions automatically, even if the boot sector or FAT has been erased or damaged (does not work with the NTFS file system)
| Sorry, I didn't read enough, I guess this quote was just for lost partitions? Thanks again for the help. | |
