Microsoft IT Site Delete Capture 1.0
I'm pleased to announce the availability of a tool coming out of Microsoft IT. Over the past few weeks I've (Joel Oleson) been working with Bill Baer to pull together a tool that started as a simple example of an event receiver to show that someone could write an app that would capture deleted sites or site collection. It has since slowly developed into that full fledged functionality and something that IT has been slowly rolling out.
As with all codeplex apps, these are community supported applications and are provided "as is." The source is provided as well as the full package ready to install with instructions. Please don't throw this into production or call product support for this. If you decide to use this in production it is at your own risk with community support. Note: The application itself does simply use the event receiver to capture the delete request and queue the backup to disk before deletion.

This CodePlex governance workspace was created to showcase tools that enhance the governance and manageability of WSS 3.0 and SharePoint Server 2007.
Enjoy. If this works well, we plan to release more samples as they mature.
