Most of this sort of thing goes away when you have a hierarchical file system
that saves the last days files as /yesterday.  Suppose each day, in each
UFS file system, you had a copy of the file system that had all the active 
files from the last 24 hours.  Most of the stuff people delete and want
back will be found in that spot.  Only rarely do you have to go to tape.

You can do this with a shell script, by the way.
