Hi,
I use a Solaris M/c. In my Home directory, there's a .snaopshot dir where in backup is present. Our settings let the system to take a backup daily... so if i deleted a file created yes'day or earlier.. i can go to this .snapshot and restore the file... we can configure the system to take hourly backups too... depends on the admin... Regards, Justsam

I don't believe there is any way to restore files deleted from the filesystem, and "rm -i" doesn't have anything to do with restoring already deleted files.
from the man page: Code:
-i Request confirmation before attempting to remove each file,
regardless of the file's permissions, or whether or not the
standard input device is a terminal. The -i option overrides
any previous -f options.

No Guys ,
I was talking about some utility like we had PCTOOLS in DOS or something like that Taking backups and snapshots are all fine but what if someone does delete something ... shouldn't Unix give some Recycle bin feature like WINDOWS I distinctly remember that there is some undocumented feature on this and what's more this is a frequently asked question in Interviews as well

File deletion is irrevocable. The default 'rm' command will not store any information for the file that will allow an undelete.
Any recycle bins that you might see on a GUI would probably be implemented by the GUI itself.
