Oh, the other thing - built-in filesystem snapshots.

Say you've got something in a NetApp-mounted directory, that you 
accidentally deleted:

On a netapp:

# rm passwd
# ls passwd
passwd: No such file or directory

"oops"
"oh shit"

# cd .snapshot
# cp passwd ../
# cd ..
# ls -al passwd
-r--r--r--   1 root     sys         2398 May  9 13:51 passwd
# 

"yay"

You can have it snapshot the filesystem once an hour, once a day,
etc... and you can have multiple snapshots, as well, if you need
to get an older version of a file..
