Re: Preventing users from deleting all their files

What OS are they doing this on? The solution could be drastically
different depending on Windows/Linux/Mac/other.

Also, are you only worried about them messing up the OS, or deleting
personal files (like code or reports they have written)? Once again,
the answer could be very different depending on what you're trying to
protect.

Backing up the entire hard drive is always an option, however of
course you'll lose whatever was created since the last backup. I have
some other ideas, but will wait to hear the answers to the above
questions first. No point in writing out a 5 paragraph reply for an OS
you don't use. =)

Hi,

We´re having some problems with users deleting all their files on their
client computers, specially those that for one reason or other, leave the
company. What alternatives i have to avoid this? backup entire HD? I am open
to suggestions.

Best Regards,

Luis
