I like that solution, simple has always worked for me.

For this particular application, if the file has been missing for 10 days,
then it wasn't being used.  I actually have enough room on my hard drive for
30 days backup of "critical" files.  Most of the other stuff is fairly static
and on read-only mount points.  Ghost images, Installation files, etc.  I
only keep that stuff for 1 day.
