I really, really screwed up... I was dead tired and deleted files from my
laptop... however, woe be me... it was the "real" folder on the server. No
problem... I'll go to recycle bin and restore... now the oops... the files
aren't in the laptop nor the server recycle folder...
and no, I don't have a backup (oops, oops)
Someone please tell me the files are there... how to list and how to
restore...
It's only six months of work... :-) Bet it will take much longer to try and
reproduce...
Help!!!!
I make light of my plight, but 'taint funny...

The recycle bin only covers your local hard disk drives.

You'll have to get the server administrator to restore these files
from backups - if the backups exist for the time period for when
the files existed.

Just noticed another part of your post...

No backups? Not wise. What are you doing running a file server with no
backups? *grin*

You might try some undelete utilities (on the server) - but the more you use
the machine (the server in this case) - the lower your chances of recovery
become.

And get some sort of backup schedule in place!
 
Thanks Shenan... It's a home network and I'm the admin and I could kill my
stupidity... not what I wanted to hear, but what I suspected... bummer!

It is working as designed.

Sometimes the design differs from what folks need for the infrequent
CYA.
