This is a major issue, not highlighted or documented well enough for the new user. The fact that there is no Recycle Bin and no automated method built in to the server to back up the shares is a major omission IMHO. I know there are work arounds and I have implemented them but that is because I visit here often and read about the issues. A new user of an MSS or WHS may not even know these forums are here and can potentially and easily make a mistake with valuable and arguably priceless pictures and data files.
The following user would like to thank element for this post JohnBick. MitchSchaft wrote: There's somebody out there supposed to be working on an addin that will throw deleted files in the recycle bin of the computer doing the deleting.
I dont think that will work because then the add-in would have to be client-side, or else the client will just do what it is programmed to do look at my post above. JohnBick wrote: The problem for many of us is that GB in the cloud is expensive and slow to get it all stored. Agree with the above.
Another "cloud" watch out at this is point is the long term viability of the vendor chosen. Many have come and gone in the last few years. Some gracefully, giving customers plenty of notice regarding the shut down. Others however, have just closed their virtual doors with customers left wondering how to recover their data. With competition strong, easy and cost of start up low, margins for this current business model need to be low to attract non-business customers. One economic bump in the road can put these guys out of business.
Not the scenario I want to trust my most valuable data to. I'll stick with multiple copies of my most valuable data. One to keep locally and one to keep offsite rotating the two each month. I think that's a bit harsh. There are plenty of vendors who have survived for many years in this space and I can't think of even one major vendor who has gone out of business and left their users stranded. Prices are also coming down as a result of vigorous competition and you are seeing some vendors offer to transfer all of your data from one provider to another one where they eat the cost of doing the cloud to cloud transfer.
I expect in another few years the cost will be down to a nickel or less with no transfer costs for uploading.
Even if there ARE upload charges, they will dip down to almost nothing since new technologies from Jungle Disc, etc, are doing block level backup changes meaning that if you modify a 10GB file only the 1MB that you modified gets updated in that night's backup. The problem with the disk based backup approach is that you have to be engaged, at least to the extent of rotating the drives in and out on a daily or weekly basis.
You also have no easy means within the WHS console to simply select the problem file and recover it. You must either restore the entire snapshot from the date you want, which is very time consuming, or you must access the RDC and manually access the backup in question, verify the file s and recover that way.
I don't think you will find anyone who has successfully and painfully recovered from a data storage disaster complain that cloud storage is pricey.
How much would you pay to get all of your photos and videos back if your server burned up and your latest physical back up was a week or more out of date? When I think about data safety the thought that immediately comes to my mind is "if the house was burglarized, or burned to the ground, would I have quick easy access to my data". I do keep physical backups made every month or so in a fire safe in the home, but even that doesn't leave me feeling truly covered in the event of a major disaster.
That's why cloud storage is a good supplement, at least for critical files such as family photos, home movies, financial documents, etc. I can't believe I'm that guy. That being said, I've now set up SyncToy to do what I need. I'm just salty that I didn't know about this before making the error. Recovering files from non-NTFS file systems is only supported in signature mode. If you're not sure, start with the default mode.
Signature mode extension groups and file types. Scans for files with specific file types. Separate multiple entries by using commas. For a list of extension groups and corresponding file types, see the table, "Signature mode extension groups and file types" in the section, "About modes and file systems".
If you see the following message: "Destination disk is full, please free up space before resuming: R esume, S kip file, or A bort", Free up drive space on the destination drive, and then choose one of the options. If you used default or segment mode, try again in signature mode if the file type is supported. It's possible that the free space was over-written, especially on a solid state drive SSD.
