They've been warning us of a purge, but I thought I was following the rules and not clogging the network drives. My work computer was kind of my unofficial backup to my home computer :p. I just sent an email plea to I.T. to see if I can get my stuff back but a) it's Veteran's Day and they don't work and b) I seriously doubt it.

Crap!!!! I had all kinds of great PJ cover art and photos. Well, live and learn. At least there was nothing incriminating! :D

    You should buy a USB flash drive for $10 and store your stuff on there.

    Now you tell me! :D

    Yeah, I knew that all along. When they delete stuff, does it go into a black hole or do you think there's any chance they'll "give" it back?

    If the data was stored in an external server with regular backups, they might be able to restore the data, but it can be really time consuming. I doubt the IT people might wanna go through all that trouble just to save some PJ memorabillia (I would ;)).

    If the data was stored in your PC, you can retrieve those deleted files by using a tool called EnCase.

    You said NETWORK drive, correct? If that's true there will be no chance that they would restore your network folder to get that stuff back. Like the people said, go get yourself some sort of external flash drive and save it to there.

    We "IT Nazis" are just that for a reason. We had someone who we just laid off that was using our network drive as her own personal picture playground. 8GB worth of space. That's a shitload for our server which is about 4 years old.

    Got to keep that network running smooth.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    I agree with you. Our IT people are actually quite cool. I'm the dipshit, here :(.

    P.S. for Stone is God - why don't they just limit the size of the folder I was using? Everyone gets one...."My Documents"

    Did they actually come to your CPU and delete it?

    My company's network is set up is that everyone has a shortcut to the network folder that is titled by their name. All files are saved to the server and backed up nightly to an external tape drive.

    When you say "My Documents" it actually makes me think that you were saving it to the C drive on your work station. In that case you have the amounts of free space on your work station HD to fill up.

    our file server here at work usually has less than a gig free
    we are Nazis on deleting stuff that should not be there!

    store in on the local drive of your work computer if you must but flash drives are cheap as chips!
