420149 2006-01-11 11:27:00 Have a small network of XP PC's with documents stored on a Windows 2000 PC. On a workstation I deleted a file on the 2000 machine. Doesn't appear in the recycle bin of the XP workstation or the 2000 machine file was deleted from. Is there any way of retreiving this file? darro (7011)

Never tried this product myself, but PC Inspector File Recovery might do the trick. It is avaiable as a free download at pcworld.com (www.pcworld.com)

My experience is that a file deleted off a network share is pretty much gone. The recycle bin only applies to local drives.

Having said that, if you're very quick or the servers almost inactive, you may be able to use an Undelete utility on the server.

Most network administrators have had similar experience, and learn the value of backups the hard way.
