'
'
' NAME: RestoreConflicted.VBS
'
'  AUTHOR: James Carr, EPS, Microsoft Corporation
'  AUTHOR: Ned Pyle, EPS, Microsoft Corporation
'
'
'  COMMENT: Disaster Recovery script for pulling DFSR data out of ConflictAndDeleted
'           and putting it back into a usable directory tree, preserving paths
'           names, and security descriptor info.
'
'  USAGE: Replace the 3 variables in the "operator edited" section below
'         with valid paths. The Script will copy the contents of the CandDFolder
'         to a specified path, returning files to original names and adding back
'         their folder structure at the time of deletion.
'
'         It is important to note that duplicate conflicts will not copy - check
'         the restoreconflicted.log to see which files need manual intervention
'         (this is done to prevent the accidental restore of an older conflicted copy)
'
'         Finally: this tool can only copy files that were preserved in ConflictAndDeleted
'         by quota (by default, 660MB). If the quota prevented all files from being saved
'         this script is not going to help for those that were trimmed out.
'
'  VERSION HISTORY:
'
'   1.01 / 09/25/06 -
'         Added support for whitespace in shelled XCOPY commands (thanks to sabinn, kapilme for catching)
'
'   1.00 / 08/25/06 -
'   First working version
