Is there a program available to detect harmful file deletions?
Is there a program available to detect harmful file deletions?
Works for me too. I uploaded a copy, which will be removed after two weeks.

Maybe using PowerShell: Compare-Object cmdlet

You'd need to automate the comparisons and then create alerts when "File X" is missing.
The most effective method to safeguard files against deletion is to perform regular backups. To ensure these backups remain intact, a NAS must have read access to the PC disk where the files are stored, allowing it to initiate synchronization (copying from PC to NAS, not vice versa). The PC should only have read permissions, not write access, to the backup NAS.
This approach addresses several potential issues:
1. Drive degradation causing bad sectors
2. Corrupted file system
3. Faulty RAM that corrupts data
4. Power interruptions during extended operations (such as file transfers)
Regarding RAID6, it should cover the first point unless it's exclusively used on the NAS.
Even with RAID, protection from bit rot depends on the filesystem supporting periodic scrubbing (like ReFS under Windows), which can be challenging to manage.
Using RAM with ECC is essential for data integrity, and an uninterruptible power supply is a must.
The chances of a malicious program randomly deleting files are minimal, as such actions usually stem from human error rather than ransomware. If it isn’t a hardware failure or filesystem corruption, the issue likely lies with accidental deletion.
Consider adopting a file manager such as Total Commander or Directory Opus, both offering logging capabilities so you can track changes and understand activity.
