How do I protect the Root Directory?

One of my admins executed the following a wiped out all the files on one
of our main servers:

cd /directory
mv filename*.* /*

When I booted from CD and mounted the root partition, all the data
was gone!

Is there a way to protect this from happening again to the root partition?
