I just accidentally deleted all information on a network folder that everyone here at my office uses daily!

The backup copy won't be restored till Tuesday or Wednesday but we need to use it and has time-sensitive information. I wish the techs at my office work faster.

I'm screwed.

Edit : Anyone got good excuses, beside the ID10T error?

Oh and I generally like tech ppl, so don't flame me!

Current excuse:

Claim ignorance!
"WTF where'd the files go? A hacker did it!!"

Is it tracable to who deleted them?

*Updated*

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!

other thread i made yesterday about it

Not entirely your fault. Your techs should have known better and set permissions accordingly.

Hey, how else can they set permissions if I need access to read/write in the directory?

Can anyone help me with excuses?

btw, I'm not a stupid user. It was pure accident!

By giving you those permissions and NOT the Modify or Full Control permissions.

They could have easily denied the "Delete" permission, but left the Write permission enabled. That would have given Write access, but wouldn't have allowed anything to be removed in it's entirety.

The techs are at fault.


However, J0hnny still isn't getting any "poon".
