- No, after my knowledge, there is no such tool. But there is an easy
- workaround: You can alias 'rm' do to something like
- 'move the file to /tmp'. You can then retrieve a file by simply copying it
- back. Also, after each reboot, /tmp is being cleared, so you won't
- eat up all your disk space.

- Hope that helps,
