I remember something like this too except the one I'm thinking of was simply a script that would move the deleted data into a "recycle bin". If you wanted to recover a file you would simply pull it from this bin. The only downside is that there was some manual maintanence as the script didn't purge deleted files--the author suggested setting up a cron job for this. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
