They have a backup from 3 weeks ago but of course the most recent work is the most important. What are the options they have for recovering those files?
The ReadyNAS does have the option to enable a recycle bin for each share. You can check to see if it's enabled by going into Frontview > Shares > Share Listing and then click on the CIFS tab for the desired share. Scroll down to see if it's enabled and what the settings are. If it's enabled, there would be a folder called "Recycle Bin" on the root of the share that contains the deleted file(s).
