Have you tried either volume shadow copy, or Data Protection Manager (which uses volume shadow copy and is a bit more powerful)? It doesn't get rid of the problem, but it does augment 'traditional' backups considerably, and most importantly, offloads the restore of backups onto the users to the point at which you could reasonably give them control of the folders, experience a few accidental deletions/restores and not really have to do very much about it other than reminding them how to restore files... You didn't mention either, and I don't think anyone else has either - I'm not sure if that's because you/they consider them singularly inappropriate for the task or just haven't heard of them! ;) - James. -- James (njan) Eaton-Lee | 10807960 Semper Monemus Sed Non Audiunt, Ergo Lartus - (Jean-Croix) sites: http://www.bsrf.org.uk - http://www.security-forums.com ca: https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3
