say you deleted c:loadwb ;)

what could be simpler than

under AFS: "copy sys:.deldir/loadwb c:loadwb"  (or have a Dopus button)

under FFS, you fire up disksalv, set it to undelete mode *wait* select file ,
select destination,*wait*  hmmm which is easier?

of course you could just use KAN for both cases...

I suppose you never backup your data, laying all your hopes on disksalv if any
problem should occur?
