External HDD trash bin

[carast]

Hi people.
I'm a newcomer to linux and raspberry. I've managed to setup a samba file share over my wifi network.

My setup:
Raspberry pi b+ running on Raspbian Jessie Lite which is running my samba file share server.
I have two external HDDs connected to the Pi, one for storage (which is available to all on my network, type NTFS) and one for backing up the storage one.

My problem:
When someone deletes a file, folder.. on my storage HDD it is gone... there is no Recycle bin (Trash bin) on external HDD for me to recover the file.

What I wan't:
I wan't to be able to easily recover deleted files from external HDD because people on my network are not used to computers and they get confused very fast (not knowing are they deleting from server or local)

Is there a way to configure my setup so that I have a trash bin on external HDD for deleted files (sd card is to small for trash bin, but if there's no other way I will buy a larger one), or am I just missing something.
Googling didn't gave me an answer.

Cheers

You could restrict users rights to write / delete files and that would stop files being deleted accidently.

Forgot to mention that a need them to have write / delete rights.. Accidental deleting is the problem. Don't now how to idiotproof that...

Simple solution: you need a good backup procedure to recover from accidental deletes.

I didn't even know this feature existed in samba until you asked, but is this what you are looking for?
