| 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

| power surge, file system corruption, disk failure etc. etc.

I should clarify... I already have a backup system for data that is
important.

A recycle bin would protect against deletions that have happened before a
scheduled backup would occur.
