"SNAPSHOT"

I liked the concept of "snapshots"....which is point in time copy and a read-only copy which can be restored later for read-write purposes. wondering!!??? howcome something technical from my side!hang on u'll come to know....
These snapshots generally, by default are taken at every 1 hour and u can restore whichever snapshot u want and continue from there. So far so good.
I wish someone had taken "snapshots" of our lives,v could go back, correct our mistakes,in a way-really design our lives.so nice na!I want snapshots from my +2 class.Not that I'm not happy for what I am,but I'd love to take life in a completely different direction and see how it goes! if not from +2 ,atleast badly I want the snapshots of 4 years BE! one per year(fair enough!)....I would restore my 3rd year snapshot i.e

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP3

>>file restored successfully .

happy :)...I make all the changes....(1) my semester marks improve(5th and esp 6th)
(2) 2 accidents on my crown are removed
(3) v 3 utilize our time in a better way than worrying too much about others!
and many more .......
shubhada, all this at the cost of 1 extra year....another year with VTU! totally 5 years .... hmmm "u want something u should sacrifice something".....okay, hey wait, if I am restoring one year,Y will I do only that...I would rewind the "life clock" and "life calender" also!ok something nice...carry on....
ok done. now, I dont want to continue, I want my 4th year back....which was so nice!such good marks....nice fun....change in the way of life(with many lessons and realizations)....I try this

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP4

>>Error :command failed: unable to find the snapshot

aaaa????

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP4

>>Error :command failed: unable to find the snapshot

what the hell!?

snapdrive snap restore -file /mnt/4NI04CS074/shu -snapname NIE:/cs/shubhada:SNAP4

>>Error :command failed: unable to find the snapshot

noooooooo....

guys!when u restore a snapshot, all other snapshots taken after that are no more valid....:( This will now mean another year more with VTU. no way acceptable!

see friends I cant even enjoy virtually, this technology puts a constraint then and there! I can conclude "snapdrive" fails on /Life/shubhada

WAIT ! The very purpose of "snapshots" is data protection and recovery right, it happens in life also....snapdrive is installed in every brain....the whole content of snapshot will be etched in memory which stays there permanently. U can restore it time and again and send back, with the only difference----it remains a read-only copy forever!what if I have a brain-haemmorhage .... :) every prob has a solution....this is the time for "disaster recovery"....get back to ur dairies which r equivalent to tapes and disks ;)

Now time to decide....u should either change snapdrive s/w to meet ur requirements or change the attitude towards life. 2nd is better :) :( . past is past....never again can get back those days,and every min spent now is gone forever! with this, get up....got to meet shil,shwe and su take a "snapshot" which remains evergreen for the rest of life :)
