Just now it was 4th on HN fromt page, and now it's gone...

Interesting how it works - I was expecting it would use Volume Shadow Copy, but no, it's something different:

> By using WindowsNT Driver technology, Snapshot chains itself between the file system and the disk driver so that it will see any request to the disk. When any WRITE request is detected, before the data are saved, the data are read first from the disk and saved, before the WRITE request is allowed to proceed.
