Intentionally deleted files will be recovered. In fact, you could  
conceivably restore more data then your client has capacity to hold if  
just prior to the system crash, its disk was close to its capacity and  
someone intentionally deleted some files and created some other files.  
I am referring to standard files, not databases. I am not sure what  
happens with a database, but I suspect a similar situation would occur.
