Sample Comments
It seems like ZFS/Btrfs snapshots would do this.
Or simply use a filesystem that allows snapshots.
Can't ZFS do these kinds of things with snapshot?
Sure you can. Filesystem snapshotting is available on all OSes now.
you can use fs snapshots and backups
Perhaps a snapshotting filesystem could help too.
If you run ZFS, you can use ZFS snapshots.
Use a filesystem that lets you take regular snapshots, like zfs.
Similar to making a ZFS snapshot, maybe?
If only it had a native filesystem with snapshotting capability...
