I don't miss 'recover'. I don't seem to have it on my system if that
is its name. Or is it a fs utility? Anyway, I decided a long time ago
that if I deleted a file and I didn't have a backup, it was gone. It's
caused me problems at times, sure. But I don't want to get to rely on
fs level recovery. That's for the million dollar files, and I don't
have too many of them, and in any case a million dollar file better be
backed up *AND* the backup checked or someone's out of a job, eh?
