Disturbingly effective is definitely the right phrase. It's actually inspired me to create a script on my desktop that moves folders to ~/Trash, then I have another script that /dev/random's the files and then /dev/zeros them before deletion. It eliminated risk of an accidental rm, AND make sure that once something is gone, it is GONE.

The server we were working at the time wasn't configured with frequent backups, just a full backup once a month as a stop gap until the project got some proper funding. Any sort of remote version control is totally the preventative factor here, but my goal is to help others that have yet to learn that lesson.
