People have been known to replace the "rm" command with a script or
shell procedure that moves the target files to a "trash" directory
instead of deleting them outright.

It still doesn't help with, e.g, and application's "Save as..." function
that overwrites an existing file, but it's something.

That's why you should have a backup of important files. If the file
is deleted or the disk crashes or whatever and a user does not have
a backup, then the user can only blame himself for this trouble.
With all these large external USB disks available nowadays, it
shouldn't be a problem to make regular backups even for home systems.
