However you may implement this feature please make sure that it takes
care of the availabel disk space! Most people do only have limited space
on their root partition and by making numerous snapshots your hard drive
will be clobbered soon. Besides this the feature should stop
automatically or ask for elder snapshots to be deleted before the max.
drive fill reaches a certain percentage (f.i. 80%). As soon as your root
partition gets filled by 100% you may not even be able to boot from it.
Honestly thinking I can imagine there being an automatic restoration
point for the last update only many consecutive updates being condensed
for the same auto-restoration point on a single day, only. Anyway please
do not leave many automatic restoration points hanging around.
