I saw a samba addition somewhere that creates a recycle bin like device...
I'll look into it.

I looked for file recovery under ext3 before and found specific articles
that say ext3 is not recoverable like NTFS.  Something about it being too
efficient and such.

Your best bet is to follow someone else's advice and grep through the raw
data.

Would it make sense to create 5 minute fast backups with hard links of user
folders and deleting those links at the end of a day before the main backup?
Would this create a kind of trash can effect?

What file system are you using?  There are several possible tools for ext2
file systems, including e2undel and recover.  The file manager Midnight
commander has undelete capabilities as well.
