That's what we actually do, with the additional constraint that the trash gets only 50% of the free quota. The other 50% is reserved for versions. You could now say that the trash bin should be able to use some storage reserved for the versions. But than on the other hand what would you do if your trash uses the complete quota and you edit a file? Then we have not enough storage for the version and I already see that people than say "hey, I edited a important document and now I can't go back to the previous version" Further also if we implement such a behavior it could still happen that files deleted accidentally doesn't end up in your trash bin if you already used almost all of your quota. I think such solutions would become quite complex, it would not guarantee to save you from the original scenario and it would create other concerns like I tried to describe in this mail. At the end I still believe a good backup strategy is the only thing which really helps here. You could also do a rm -rf on your server by accident, your hard disc could fail, etc. You should really have some backups. Either on your server, or your clients or best on both sides. Also most VPS providers offers you some ways to backup your server. cheers, Björn -- Björn Schießle <[email protected]> Software Engineer ownCloud Inc.
