In 24 years of using Unix/Linux, I have only ONCE rm'ed a file which I
didn't mean
to remove.

1. Use your head, instead of relying on (ALWAYS flaky) undelete mechanisms.
(undelete can NEVER guarantee that your file is available to be restored
anyways).

2.  Do regular backups (NIGHTLY!).  If you're not... well then, you
really don't
consider your files to be all that important -- kind of like buying a
house but NOT
purchasing insurance for it.  Large IDE disk drives are cheap.  An
external USB container
for an IDE drive runs in the $25-50 dollar range --- which means you
have no excuse
for not making a backup of your data on a regular basis.
