How QCSB Protects a Move Source Before Destructive Removal

This article explains the move sequence: create source protection, copy/stage to destination, verify destination, and only then remove the source.

What you need to know

  • Basic includes Local storage and the first active Workspace. Pro adds FTP/SFTP, multiple Workspaces, advanced permissions, and background continuation. Max/All Access adds Google Drive, OneDrive, Private Connections, Recovery Vault management, and bulk operations.
  • A plan gate decides whether a feature exists at the current Effective tier. Joomla access and QCSB permission rules separately decide whether a particular user may use that feature.
  • Copy/Move authorization is directional: QCSB checks the source-side permission and the destination-side permission independently.
  • Move is destructive only after the destination has been written and verified; the source is Recovery-protected before removal.
  • Recovery protection is a safety boundary for destructive operations and is separate from Max/All Access Recovery Vault management. QCSB may create protected copies even when the current user cannot open the management UI.
  • Delete, replace/overwrite, and destructive move are blocked when the required protected copy cannot be created and verified.

Move safety sequence

  1. QCSB checks move-out authority on the source and move-in/write authority on the destination.
  2. It writes/copies the item to the destination and verifies that destination result.
  3. It creates/verifies Recovery protection for the source before source removal.
  4. Only after the destination and protection checks succeed does QCSB remove the source provider object.
  5. If any required safety step fails, the source is not blindly deleted to make the job look successful.

Important limits and mistakes to avoid

  • Do not bypass failed recovery protection to force a destructive action. The block is intentional safety behavior.

Troubleshooting

  • If a file action fails, retry with one small test item and read Transfer Details or the operation toast before changing global settings.
