Hello.

I use Windows 2008 R2 file server and share my Drive D as a file server but when a user deleted a file from my share drive, It can;t move to the Recycle bin for recovery? 

How can I fix it?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

As far as I know, this is by design the Recycle Bin only stores files deleted from local drives, not from a network drives. May be a third party application can help you in this case.

And we also suggest you  backup on that machine so you can restore accidental deleted files/folders.

Please check about the similar thread discuessed before.

Yes Mary is correct. For recovery of accidental deleted files on shared folders you can use shadow copy:

or of course windows server backup:

Shadow copy is pretty smart because the user can recover files without intervention of the admin.

I read the above article and I want to know, Can enable shadow copy slow my File server? I have a file server that many users working it. Can enable Shadow Copy slow it or need a lot of space?

Can shadow copy overwrite in a specific time? For example, my users may deleted may files per day and I want to know can I limit space of shadow copy? 

Thank you.
