This topic was covered a little bit in a book I was given called "Wicked Cool Shell Scripts" by Dave Taylor. He has a shell script that modifies the rm command to move things to a holding directory through rm rather than actually deleting them. Basically, it works the same way the recycle bin does in greatly inferior operating systems.

I started to use a script that moves the files to a "~/recycleBin/" directory when I type "del" and I use "del" command to delete files and I'll also let "rm" command to be available for certain deletes
I had backup for the first time and this was not a problem, I feel lucky.
