Also when word or excel (as well as various other programs) save a file, 
they first write to a temporary file, then delete the original, then 
rename the temporary file. So if the user can't delete, they can't save 
a word document.

As Felipe said, if you're looking to protect documents, this isn't the 
solution. In that situation I personally like keeping rsync snapshots on 
a seperate hard drive of server. Using hard links you can store a LOT of 
snapshots using relatively little storage space. Also the recycle vfs 
module might be useful.
