File Deletion on NT4 Server

[pshedges]

I have a user who keeps having some of his files and directories deleted, this is random in the amount and names of dirs/files.

Only he has access to user dir (apart from Domain Admins)

There are no scheduled jobs that are running on the server that would effect data.

The AV software is not moving or deleting files.
His is the only dir that is effected, and he is not moving/deleting them by accident.

I have recreated users account from a blank - new profile etc.. still occurs, I am at a loss as to where these files and dirs are going??

Anyone come across this before....??

Does the user have any sort of file synchronisation from the client?
Could possibly be removing stuff off line and then synching that removal...

The only dir that gets uploaded is the Profile DIR.
All disappearing files are in the root of the userdir and not in the profile dir (this is about the only dir that never gets deleted)

No synchronisation of any sort set up.

I am about to move userdir to another server to rule out the server as the problem, if this still occurs then the only thing I can see left would be the backup but cannot see why the backup would delete any files...
