Wish ubuntu had something like restoring to a previous date/time !!
I haven't as yet heard of one!!
Has someone here stumbled upon one such trick??!!
Not a straight-forward technique, but if you are willing to
get your hands really dirty, you can recompile the
Linux kernel and add support for NILFS2 filesystem, migrate
all your Linux partitions (that store your data) into this
filesystem and you are ready to go.
With NILFS2, you can restore your filesystem to any point in time
in the past (more like version control for your filesystem data).
It worked pretty well (on my Slackware box with custom-built
Linux kernel 2.6.34).
BtrFS - another filesystem project that has been gaining momentum
for sometime now - also has filesystem snapshot feature,
but somehow, I've been stumbling on it for sometime now on my
Fedora 14 box to make it work like it was supposed to.
For more information on NILFS2, you can look-up
