And quite successfully I might add, its one of the better features of NT-4.0, 
causing the drive in one of our boxes at the tv station to have to be 
replaced with a re-imaged version 3 times over a 5 year period because the 
deleted file was a very important part of NT-4.0.  Same file twice, a 
different one the middle time.

I wouldn't trust that filesystem with valuable data any farther than I could 
throw it after its source code was carved on the back of Mount Rushmore.
