Hello, boys!
So as you are speaking for those thing called "snashot" i will beg you
to share
some experience about it.
How do you find it works, have you made rebuild of the system from a
snanshot...
and so..
Thanks
---------------------------------------------------

No rebuild yet, but have mounted to see how easy it is to retrieve
files. Since I run run rebootable clones of my main HD to a 2nd HD every
2-3 days anyway, this daily snapshot just gives me more frequent
backups. Mounting and using the clones is a similar approach. Of course
my clones includes every filesystem as well as those snapshots. The FFS
is really fast too. I like it and restoring is next on my list once I
fully understand the nuances.
