Samba delete protection in network shares

JJJCR · 08-31-2016, 08:52 PM

Hello guys, has anyone configure a samba shares with file delete protection on network shares?

Example, if someone delete a file from the network shares it will be save to some folder that easily be restored.

Samba shares work well for Windows client? Is it faster?

Thank you.

Same problem with windows shares, file deletions over network shares aren't automatically put in any recycle bin. I believe there is a network recycle bin program for windows machines as well.

Samba acts as a client and/or a server on a Windows SMB file-sharing network. Protection against file deletion and so-forth should be provided through the use of Windows permission rules. Backups and so forth should also be provided in the usual Windows way. "When in Rome ..."

If you have need of efficient distributed file sharing and versioning, you may wish to look into Microsoft's SharePoint product. Based on their very-excellent Exchange Server engine (as are many other things Microsoft ...), it works extremely well and is very widely used.

(Yeah, I just "plugged" a Microsoft product on a Linux forum!)
