If you make one once a day it's almost the same as a FS VMS feature. You can have a total of 20 snapshots, so that's 20 days... Snapshots really aren't that complicated, take a look at the handbook entry: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/snapshots.html Basicly it's just: # mknap_ffs /usr 20060812 And you have a snapshot of /usr named 20060812 Also, there's a port which offers some usefull scripts sysutils/freebsd-snapshot
