Admin would access the samba share - browse to the file(s) copy over to a public
share. The original owner can copy back to where-ever (including there home dir)
the file was lost from - simple :-)

I think you will find that there are *many* places in the world where a Small to
Medium Enterprise numbers between 2 to 20 users and relationships are close
enough that internal file sequrity is very loose. MS has built W2K for U.S.
enterprise conditions. Thus W2K server is often only used in New Zealand to
overcome the 10 user workgroup limit or to give RAS access, etc. A backup
solution that costs less than a SCSI tape drive, and doesn't require the file
server to be actually going before one can access historical data, is VERY
interesting.
