If you don't know netapps, one of the cool features for users is that you get a magic directory in every directory called .snapshot. In it are versions of the directory at predefined previous times. It's very nice. Don't like the modifications you just made? Just go and cp the old copy back. I'd like to have something kind of like this. I thought about putting /home/jeff under cvs, but some things are under cvs control for other reasons, and it'd conflict. (If I put it under cvs, I'd have a cron job go around and cvs add and commit every night.) Of course, I'd still have problems with cvs rm not being automatic. Etc. Anyone know of anything (besides rsync snapshotting, which is way too non-automatic to recover from) that might provide a snapshot feature under linux? I don't see anything on freshmeat or google searching except that the kernel's nfs support special cases netapp mounts to avoid problems. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
