I have spent many hours recently setting up a
custom audio distro that will
be remastered and available as a live CD. I'm no Linux sys admin...I figure
stuff out any way I can, take longer than most to get it just how I like
it....and then I say..hmm, just one more thing I'd like to change....and I
bjork the window manager or some such thing. To re-install at that point
kills MANY hours of fruitfull work and I'm old enough that I don't need
cliche lessons! :)
Thoughts? Oh, please choose smooth edged stones under 16oz in weight!
Netapp implemented this perfectly with the snapshots feature of their
WAFL filesystem. In every directory there is a .snapshots
subdirectory containing monthly, weekly, and hourly snapshots of the
parent directory. If you hose your system recovery is as simple as
"cp -pr .snapshots/hourly.1/* .".
Unfortunately it's patented so Linux can't do the same...
