If a file greater than the recycle bin limit is deleted, it is purged immediately. For instance in our environment, we have limited the Recycle Bin to 200mb for our redirected folders, which works great for our environment since we combine this with shadow copies (we haven't implemented the non redirected folder option yet but it's the same concept).
Note that the Recycle Bin size limitation is set per user. So if you consider increasing the limit to 20gb (in case you were considering that), note that you would need 20gb*number of users amount of space. I don't believe that you can set a global max on the server itself. -Aakash Shah From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 11:12 AM To: NT Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Network Dumpster/Recycle bin This is a great option, however, what happens when user with a 10GB recycle bin deletes a 20 GB directory? I am still going to implement this so the next time a file "disappears" I can 100% unequivocally prove that the user did it. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Network Dumpster/Recycle bin Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 18:56:58 +0000 I just did this for one of my mapped drives. After a reboot it worked like a charm. I have 2 users that this will be implemented on ASAP! I may not have to do a restore for months at a time now.
