[sakai-core-team] Documentation - How to restore deleted files

[Matthew Jones]

On Sakai 10, the process is in the help guide.
http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8082/portal/help/TOCDisplay/content.hlp?docId=howdoirestorearemovedfileorfolderinresources

On Sakai 11, it will be even easier.

On Sakai's versions prior, then yeah the process for restoration is
different and I believe requires that you have been keeping file system
backups.
