[TriLUG] rm -r all my backups... oops

[Jason Watts]

So, the new person hit enter when she should have hit / and the whole
backup directory (luckily its a backup of the backups) is gone.

My question is, are there any cool little linux tools that can recover
the whole directory that she removed?

Thanks for any advice in advance... My problem is in the process of
being taken care of (Thanks rsyn) but I have no Idea what I would have
done if she removed ALL my backups and not just the backup's destined
for offsite.
