This looks interesting, but won't solve all our issues. Many times, the problem is "oops, I didn't mean to over-write that spreadsheet". Since MS Office tend to use a delete-then-save model, Server Undeleted works really well for that kind of recovery.

After a reboot it worked like a charm. I have 2 users that this will be implemented on ASAP! I may not have to do a restore for months at a time now.
