Re: File Recovery in Win2003

My problem is users don't know how to recover. When a user deletes a file on
a Win2k3 server, there really is no recycle bin. We don't have shadow copy
turned on, and I am wondering if it is better to turn it on vs using a 3rd
party utility to keep copies of deleted/changed files. Any thoughts?
