Folks,

As NetApp filers, Hodgkin and Huxley both have a useful feature you may not be aware of that can help you restore accidentally deleted or overwritten files. 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 here. Everything there applies to Unix except that the magic snapshot directory is called .snapshot (instead of ~snapshot used on Windows systems).
