LABDRIVE supports file-level versioning and deleted items recovery.
If a container is using a storage class that supports versioning, every time a file is changed, all previous versions are also kept. If a file is deleted, it is also possible to undelete it.
To list previously existing versions of a file, right-click over it, select Properties and go to the Versions tab:
If you want to restore a previous version, select Restore
The version restoring process usually takes a few minutes to complete. Restored files are moved to the same folder in which the current file is, with the following format: (original file name.extension)_(version key)_(timestamp).
Versioned files use storage space. If you want to delete the previous versions of a file, right-click over it, select Properties and go to the Versions tab and select the Delete icon:
To recover deleted files in a container, go to the Storage tab and scroll down to the Deleted Items section. A list of the deleted files will be shown:
To restore a file, select Restore
If you want to delete all previously deleted files from a container, go to the Storage tab and scroll down to the Deleted Items section. Select the Delete icon:
Once deleted, the versions or the deleted files, it is impossible to recover them. Files are lost forever.
Changing the storage class or type for a file, removes all its previos versions, making impossible to recover previous ones.
