I had one 7x24 Debian RPi running using BTRFS, indeed to be able to make snapshots. I did use ZFS on an Ubuntu system for another reason, but that worked straight-forward as well. Simply add from apt/apt-get and then it is good to go.

Apparently you can also create snapshots if you use what one site called the "Linux native" file system lvm. I prefer my file system snapshots to be of static file systems.

VirtualBox offers snapshots: you can effectively freeze the contents of the disk and return to older versions if you want. But I was thinking of file system snapshots, available on UFS and ZFS.
