Description of problem: On a Novell fileserver, when a user deletes a file, the file can usually be recovered with the 'Filer' utility. The same is true when an application such as MS Excel saves a modified file -- the previous version of the file can be salvaged if necessary. If RedHat Linux does not have this capability, then it should be added. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Deleted a file. How can I recover it? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete a file or modify and save an Excel file (with Linux running Samba server). 2. Run a utility, like Novell's 'Filer', to un-delete the file. 3. Actual results: File permanently deleted. Expected results: File marked as deleted, able to be recovered. Additional info:
I a frequently asked to restore spreadsheets from previously deleted versions. If I am going to put a server in place for our Accounting Department to store its spreadsheets, it is imperative that the server have this capability.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
