SAVE SELETED DISK SNAPSHOTS
Enlighten creates disk snapshots (databases) for use in its
monitoring of disk usage. These snapshots can be saved for
historical purposes and then used to determine if changes have been
made to a partition. They can also be used for security related
issues (see the "GUI BASICS" chapter in the Enlighten User Guide).
There are two ways to store a snapshot. First, you can store it as
the Master Snapshot. This is a snapshot of what you believe is a
secure system state. These are usually made before users are given
access to the partition or after a system cleanup is done. Then you
can use this Master state to gauge if changes are made over time to
that partition.
The second way is similar to the first, except you can assign a name
to the saved snapshot. These snapshots can then be used to represent
intermediate states.
Either way, once you select this menu item, a window will appear
listing all currently mounted filesystems, as shown below. Highlight
the disk partitions for which you want to make a current snapshot
and click on the Save Snapshot button.
The Save Selected Disk Snapshots window will appear. The names of the
selected partitions are automatically imported into the Snapshot from
partition column in the window. You may also add other partition names
or modify the existing ones.
Then you must choose, for each partition, whether to save the
snapshot as the master snapshot (default) or not. If so, click on
the Yes button in the Save as Master column. If not, click on the No
button and enter a unique name for this snapshot in the appropriate
Save snapshot as field.
Once you've made all your selections, click on the Save Snaphot
button. Enlighten will then notify you as each snapshot is saved. If
you've requested an existing snapshot be overwritten, you will be
prompted for confirmation before doing so.
