If you disagree, please tell us *why* you think snapshots don't solve
the problem.
Technically there's a race condition here. If you're taking regular
snapshots, you might see
10:25 - snapshot 1 - myfile.xls version 21
10:26 - - myfile.xls version 22
10:27 - - myfile.xls version 23 - corrupted
10:30 - snapshot 2 - myfile.xls version 23 - corrupted
So if you need to roll back to a previous version, the most recent
non-corrupt version (22) is lost.
Snapshots are a decent alternative but not as comprehensive and perhaps
automatic as people would like.
