Building Safety Into Our Work

>Definitely a very important topic as even experienced users can mess things
up from time to time. I'm going to publicly support the idea I brought up in
the channel about backup and rollback. I think that would probably be the
easiest route to ensure that changes were reversible. Sort of like the way
certain tools (like registry cleaners) on Windows will back up your registry
prior to making changes. That way, you're never left with a non-bootable
system. At worst, you have to log in

Hence the absolute need for Deja Dup or an equivalent in Oneric. But it
should be automatic; how often do newbies (or hell, even power uses) back up
their systems? Users should have absolute reliance on their systems not to
lose their precious data.
