I have been evaluating BE 11d CPS to see if it can provide the reported file version recovery that we would like.  Currently we have it configured to run continuously to copy over changes as soon as they happen.  This way we are able to restore a file that was change only a few hours previous.  However, I find that most of my requests to restore a file are because someone accidentally deleted the file rather than over writing it.  From what I can tell so far, CPS does not protect a file once it has been deleted and therefore cannot be restored from CPS. 

 

Is this correct or am I missing a configuration step?

 

 If CPS does not provide protection for deleted files,  what would be the best solution to accomplish this?  My goal is to have in place a system that does backup to disk to tape to improve the backup window and provide the ability to restore to any version of a file present within the last 7 - 10 days, with minimal interruption to running productions systems during normal business hours.
