If the data is removed from SMB/NFS, then tracking of those segments is removed from the AltaVault DB, and cleaned up in the cloud when garbage collection triggers. While the data segments may still be there, they are inaccessible. You need to protect against accidental deletion, like with any NAS share.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Christopher</P> Tue, 21 Nov 2017 16:48:32 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/NetApp-Console/Recovery-from-Cloud/m-p/136126#M55 chriswong 2017-11-21T16:48:32Z
