While investigating the idea a bit further, I tracked down the OpenSuSe tool used for this, snapper, and discovered that this is already included in Jessie, <URL: https://packages.qa.debian.org/s/snapper.html >. I guess we are better of using it instead of writing our own snapshot utility. :) Anyone got any experience using snapper? The debian package do not have any apt hooks, as far as I can tell, so there is some improvements to be made, I guess. :) The libpam-snapper package seem like a fun idea, allowing snapshots to be taken when a user log in and out. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
