If you do end up testing and implementing it, I would be interested to hear your experience with it. -Aakash Shah From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 9:42 AM To: NT Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Network Dumpster/Recycle bin >Most of the time previous versions worked, a few times i had to pull from > backups- This issue with self-service VSS is two-fold; 1)sometimes they don't realize for months when something is missing, and by then the previous version is gone. 2)If I show them that, then as sure as the sky is blue and water is wet, they WILL INEVITABLY overwrite other files.
