You should verify that you have the priveliges to view the files that she
was talking about. You should also verify that she was originally looking
in the correct folder. This sounds like a rights issue to me. If you
suspect foul play, you could enable auditing of file deletes, through the
GPO.

| Strange thing just happened. User on an SBS2003 install calls me up to say
| some files she was working on the last few days were missing from a shared
| folder on the server. No problem, I thought, I'll just RWW in and utilize
| the new Shadow Copy feature and retrieve the old files. But when I went
| into, I did not see the files that were missing, and I even went back a
| whole week.
|
| So I call her up to confirm the partticular sub folder she was in, and she
| checked and even confirmed that they were still not there. And then
suddenly
| she said - hey, there all there now! Some 30 files that she was looking
for
| were there ... but the strangeer thing is that I am connected at the same
| time and I'm looking at the same directory but I don't see the missing
| files. I tried to do a refresh, etc.
|
| Unfortunately, I could not stay connected due to other requirements, and I
| will go back to night to see what I can find out. Just curious if anyone
has
| run into something like this?
