I am trying to find if there is a way to locate and/or
restore files deleted from a user's home directory on the
server. The deletion was done from the user's local
computer on the network.

I'd really appreciate any help

Hi -

As has been posted in other threads, you'll need a third-party product
to recover the deleted files. They may still be recoverable as long as
they have not been overwritten by other activity on the disk.

A Google search for "undelete" will show you several products that may
be able to get the deleted files back.

To prevent this problem in the future, you should be running a product
that captures deletions on the server when they are done from a client
machine. The only product I'm aware of that does this is Undelete from
Executive Software. (www.undelete.com) It has saved many a sysadmin's
butt.

I hope this helps -
