The "snapshot" directory

The storage management system (NAS) allows "read-only" access to "snapshots" of personal data that are created at various intervals. This way, you have security copies of your files from different times which, in case of accidental deletion or modification, allow you to autonomously restore the data.
These directories are located in

  • /home/user/.snapshot in Linux environment
