And to put cream on top of this all use btrfs! Yes, use btrfs. And once again btrfs is the fs you like to use.

b) snapper! wtf is snapper?
Start YaST -> Miscellaneous -> Snapper
@Arvin: Why is this not part of YaST -> Cool Stuff? Honestly why isn't it part of YaST -> System?
Snapper is the hot feature of openSUSE 12.1 and even SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP 2. See Greg and Matthias demo show at Brainsharehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H7e6BcI5Fo#t=170
That's a real big gig. Honestly it a long time back that I had been impressed like this.
Thank you!
c) We'll make us of this with Samba
And to put more cream on top of it we're working on offering access to the btrfs snapshots via Samba to Microsoft Windows users. All a user of a Samba share has to do at the end is a right cklick on the folder in a Microsoft Explorer window and from the properties window you'll have access to the btrfs snapshots like you're able to access native Microsoft Shadow Copy snapshots. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy if you havn't used this before.
