1. Set it on the private and public stores to whatever you like (say 30 days). 2. Check the box "don't permanently delete until backup" 3. Educate your users on how to recover deleted items (Tools / Recover Deleted Items when in the Deleted Items folder). 4. Combat against the shift-delete users by implementing the DumpsterAlwaysOn reg key.
Most of this is on TechNet I suspect. I would say that, once set up, user education is the key.
