You write "I don't want to waste drive space by backing up tonnes
of files." With this philosophy you violate the first principle of safe
data storage: Important files must be stored on at least two independent
media. Havin a network recycle bin protects you only against one
contingency (human error) but totally ignores the rest: Theft, fire,
power surge, file system corruption, disk failure etc. etc.
