Portal:Snapper

tagline: From openSUSE

Welcome to the Snapper Portal edit

Snapper is a tool for managing btrfs snapshots. Apart from the obvious creation and deletion of snapshots it can compare snapshots and revert differences between snapshots. In simple terms, this allows root and non-root users to view older versions of files and revert changes. Snapper is available as a command line tool and a YaST module.

The first openSUSE distribution to include snapper is 12.1.
