Absolutely. The control is fairly granular - we can target specific folders and/or file extensions for protection, as well as configure how many revisions of a file should be protected. In our environment, we identified the areas where 80% of the "accidental" file deletions would happen, and set the recovery parameters accordingly. Because it happens on the server, recovering files is pretty easy to do over remote desktop from wherever the tech is at the time. We've had it for quite some time now. As I recall, it wasn't a big investment -- $500-$600 I think.

Most of the time previous versions worked, a few times i had to pull from backups- The file server is a 2012r2 and the clients connect over the lan, and others via Citrix and/or 2X running on a 2008r2 RDS. Ideally something free would be nice, however, if they have to pay so be it. I have pointed out that what they are spending on my time, as well as downtime is costing them money already. thanks NOTE -- This message contains legally privileged and confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
