Delorean adds versioning support to any already mounted file system under a different directory, so user can always to get a previous version of any file.
It is a versioning filesystem written as part of my thesis.
Some interesting features are :
- travel tool: it is a command line tool to run applications at different past point in time.
- processes with ancestral "traveling" processes inherits the environment, so these also "see" the filesystem at the past point in time.
- policy to set the auto delete feature, to remove old copies and recover free space.
