You've encountered a user deleting critical files by mistake. How can you prevent this from happening again?

Preventing critical file deletions requires a proactive and layered approach.

Regular data backups ensure that even if a file is accidentally deleted, it can be quickly recovered without significant disruption. Additionally, educating your team on proper file management and encouraging them to double-check before deleting anything further mitigates the risk.

Make use of version control systems that monitor file modifications and enable the recovery of earlier iterations. Give people responsibilities and permissions that restrict their ability to remove important files. For instance, remove permissions ought to be restricted to admins and specific users. Configure file permissions to restrict access to key files to only a select group of people. Make sure you regularly backup important files. Set up alerts administrators or users when a large number of files are deleted/modification at once, prompting a check of the version history.

You can perform a System Restore to revert your system to a previous working state. This can help retrieve deleted or corrupted user profiles.
