[Building Sakai] Restoring deleted resources

[Christian Aziz]

I'd vote to reopen this issue. What we currently do is backup our files
nightly and produce a list of pointers to them on our NetApp. When users
call us to restore deleted items, we have to go through the arduous process
of finding the pointer to each deleted file in the list, searching and
downloading it from the NetApp snapshot, then reuploading it.
