Thats just it though the tool didnt woork because files were recovered that were permanently deleted.
I am asking if those files, that were permanently deleted, could be restored why not the rest of the files.
Either way the deletion didnt work because a week later they recovered files.
Surely there should be a warning or a grace period. Are you sure you want to do this email sent to the master account ? With no deletion until a reply is made.
This is a backup company who claim to have 180 day retention and can recover files deleted by a hacker yet they cant. It is all false promises.

No, it isnt. Its a cloud syncing tool.
Plus. All backup systems and procedures state you should have at least 2 totally separate back up methods - so if you've used only Dropbox there is the issue (ignoring as well a lack of antivirus).
