Linux, Where's Your VSS?

http://dcsblog.burtongroup.com

Windows has VSS, this blog is questioning why there isn't something similar in Linux
from the blog:
"But where’s Linux?
Linux distributions don’t have any equivalent feature.

The result has been a few one-off solutions focused on a particular application stack, but for the most part applications just suffer from inconsistent snapshots on Linux. "

I experienced BIG problems with external tools.( read the great new whitescreen of eternal windows dead ) trying a dual boot linux install on a Vista business system. It was a bless afterwards, who wants windows anyway? But I had to try just because you can't judge it if you didn't run it. And I would never make a system that unusable by only having it run windows.
