Hopefully this is not for a problem which has already occured. A 
solution would be to do zfs filesystem snapshots whenever important 
data has changed or at a high enough frequency that the probability of 
loss before backup is marginalized.  Otherwise there is no assurance 
that the deleted data remains.
