I'm looking to the most complete fail safe solution for laptop and desktop users. Im wanting to know this because we have a lot of users that have hard drives fails, etc. How is a user supposed to get his documents off his hard drive if this laptop wont boot, even worse, if he hasnt synchrozined with the server yet? I can, myself use ERD Commander and recover most files but what they do for the time being? Personally, I dont want the user to be able to save directly to the computer, especially a desktop since they are always 100% of the time, connected to the network. A lot of times, whe I need to re-image a laptop, they need to keep it for few days to make sure all there files are there on the network so that puts me in a delay to put in a new hard drive and re-image. I need to think of something for the user, mainly laptop users to save files to whenever they can. For desktop users, I want everything to be saved to the sever, ther hidden share$. Do you all have any suggestions? Its like I need to deny them access to local folders and drives so they cant save them there but only save them to there share$ on the server. Does that make sense? Here is a perfect situation. Then financial directors hard drive just died. Here archives were never sync. to her share$ on the server. She had 14 years worth of important email. Which is over 3 gb, 3 archive each since you can go over 2gb in Outlook. Luckily, I had ERD and I found her archive. Thi could have been prevented if she was denied access to save it to her hard drive, but, she travels alot so she would need a copy of it somewhere for her to refer to in her email. I would suggest to just VPN and access her email there.
