reminds me of VAX/VMS. I did like that version feature. Reminds me of GEORGE 3 :)
It had the feature over a decade earlier. Dunno whether MULTICS had it? Take at look at btrfs and zfs. I believe they both have these features/
Not really, you have to tell the system to make a snapshot.
On vax, you edited a file several times, and you got several copies of the same file in its own directory. If I recall correctly, named like this:
file.txt;1 file.txt;2 file.txt;3
as many versions as the admin had configured, automatically.
When we wrote our "salvage" replacement script, we tried putting them in the current directory as hidden files, with date stamped extensions but abandoned this fairly early. The reasons are lost to history, but I think it caused too much directory clutter if you ever turned on "show hidden" and people's eyeballs exploded. Or it might have been that we were keeping our salvage copies on a different drive. Like I say, we've been doing it for in excess of 20 years since we moved off of Netware. - -- _____________________________________ - ---This space for rent--- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAlKosK4ACgkQv7M3G5+2DLKzOgCgkc9R/yamVBkAC80iARf0nMDx 3b8AoKW489fh3L30Yg2UkR4OdOP0+ea4 =+KpD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
