change your recycle bin (right click > properties, uncheck the box) so it doesnt confirm deletion, then when they ask, just say nothing ever popped up to confirm said deletion
What's it run on? If you were running server 2k3 there's a feature called shadow copies
if not, then I laugh at you

As for your screwup
^^^ that would be the proper way to do things. What happens if their offsite backup gets destroyed? Disaster planning is your friend mmmk?
Update?
I hope you reported your mistake quickly so that people could get to work fixing it. You're dealing with a lot of people's work besides your own. Give them notice and time so they can do what they need to do..

i did that once at a governemtn job with important files on the server.... i called the tech and they restored it after an hour or two... i was sh!tin in my pants....not much people found out about it though.
and yea, its traciable to the account that deleted the files.

And the guy who actually erased it isn't at fault? Sounds like some faulty reasoning there....
Kind of like the people who blame someone else when they do something stupid:
"There should have been a flashing sign telling me not to jump off the 8th story of the parking garage. It's not my fault"
It's not up to everyone else around you to nerf the world so you don't hurt yourself/break something. That network drive was probably up and running for quite a while until a sufficiently idiotic end user came by and deleted it. He did the deleting, it's his fault. He should take responsibility like a man.
The fact that you accidentally deleted it is forgivable. However, your attempts to hide it, knowing that it is going to be a major problem for the rest of your office is disgusting. You SHOULD be fired, as you seem to just be a leech on your employer and a willfl obstruction to others.
Oh, I agree entirely, and J0hnny is a complete tool, but the network admin guys' job is to secure the network so that retard users can't ah heck it up (case in point).
Maybe I should have said that both parties are at fault, but if the IT guys had done their job properly then it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
For all we know, the IT guys *did* do their job properly and then some tool on the business side cried and cried and cried because he "needed" to be able to delete any folder on the department server without having to go through IT....
exactly. maybe he is suppose to have write/delete access... he's just an idiot for deleting the wrong thing. I know we do the same kind of thing if a group of people need access/change to certain files. It's their project, if they delete it... that's their own damn fault
Update: I admitted fault, did the right thing, didn't get fired of course... and problem was solved with a backup!
besides, i'm too important to fire.
write/read access and delete access is required! I am a power user!

You are the reason I have a high paying job, a nice office, and pager that wakes me up at 2 am. Thank you kind sir.
