Months ago there was a thread here about the implementation of a simple undelete-function (i.e: dont delete files, but move them to a folder). Is this this still a relevant idea or has this feature low priority ? thanx, peter ps: anyone knows about a 3rd-party software (propably on nt-side) that implements such a feature ? -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512 email: pilsl@goldfisch.at sms : pilsl@max.mail.at pgp-key available
I order to create a undelete function I think we have to create a 'client for Samba networks' in windows. Undelete is pritty differcult to implement because of the most Windowz software works with files. If we create a 'client for samba networks' we can make it work correctly. Other featuers can be added to like setting security from within the explorer. Current'y I don't know and I don't think there is a client for samba networks. Maby a great idea for samba 2.2.x. Ries
Hi, Look in the samba mailinglist(februari) for the patch of a safe delete by Rogier Wolff Our company asked Rogier to make an undelete possible in Samba. Current implementation: - With each share you can define a trashcan directory. - If defined, instead of deleting the file, the file is copied to the trashcan directory with a new unique filename. - the original filename & path is kept in a seperate file - The sysop can do a cleanup of the trashcan directory and decides how often he does this, after a backup or when files are older than 2 days or whatever .. Just create your own script and run it by cron Currently we are testing this on one of our sites.

Does it run only with 2.05a, or even with newer stable version (2.07) or even with tng-versions ? I remember that there was an ugly bug with some office-applications in 2.05 ... thanks, peter -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512 email: pilsl@goldfisch.at sms : pilsl@max.mail.at pgp-key available
