A simple backup script for the trash can
Authored by: wickidpisa on Sep 05, '06 08:01:44PM

But what happens if you empty the trash backup then realize you need something that was there? Maybe you should backup the trash backup...

Seriously, backing up the trash makes no sense. If you just emptied the trash as infrequently as you now empty your trash backup, it would acomplish the same thing.

A simple backup script for the trash can

Well, for me it makes good sense. The problem sometimes occour for me when dragging several files from the desktop to the trash can. Without knowing it, I accidentially included an important file when selecting the files.
At some point later, I emptied the trash can... and my important file were gone.

This is unlikly to happen in the future as I now backup ~/.Trash/. :-)
