Snapshots in Freebsd 5.x

[jlkjlk 64654654ut]

Thanks Alec,

Very interesting; thanks for the info.
I have been able to mount the snapshot and retrieve the data while the 
system is running as mentioned on the article but ultimately I would like to 
restore entire partitions (from a system crash, for example).
Is it possible?  How can it be acomplished? On single-user-mode maybe?

Your help is much appreciated.
