About SnapFS

SnapFS™ is a file system layer that enhances a journal file system such as
Ext3 with the capabilities to retain multiple versions of files.  It allows
snapshots, or frozen images, of the file system to be taken at certain
points in time, for example, just before initiating a backup.  These frozen
snapshots can then be accessed, read-only, even after the data in a file has
been changed or the file itself has been deleted
