Periodically, a snapshot of all files on each system is taken. A snapshot is a frozen, read-only image of the entire file system and reflects the state of the all files at the time the snapshot was created. I posted a long message on the ins and outs of snapshots [url="http://www.biac.duke.edu/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=323"]here[/url]. Everything there applies to Unix except that the magic snapshot directory is called [blue].snapshot[/blue] (instead of ~snapshot used on Windows systems). -Francis [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
