I'm not sure that I understand your question because, looking at your profile on this forum, you are a significant contributor. Therefore, I apologise in advance if I have completely missed the point.

There's no easy way AFAIK to 'backup' (and therefore restore) inodes. However, if it's idiots deleting files that you're concerned about, then sysadmins can manage that by creating a second 'link' to a file, in for example, another directory. If a user accidently/deliberately deletes a file then they only delete that link and the actual data isn't lost until all links are removed. Therefore, putting the link back where is should be will instantly 'restore' the file.

Does that help? Or, as I say, have I misunderstood the question?
