Hopefully, you'll receive a more authoritative answer.
but I don't think you've got control over this event.

On a previous system, I recall the operation started
at the application of some update service. Prior to
that, the recycle bin had never been used for such
backup(s).

I guess, because I've seen so many complaints of lost
data in .dbx files, the change was implemented just for
recovery. However, I'd like the option myself.


Do you mean you /like/ having the option? You said, "However, I'd like the
option myself", and that would imply that you don't have it now. Your
message headers indicate you do. Just a misunderstanding on my part?
