Snap! Update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Just an update on progress w/ Snap [1], the cross-platform system snapshot / restoration tool that I've been working on.

I've added windows support to the project, thus it is now possible to use Snap to migrate windows instances across cloud providers / vm hypervisors. The nifty thing about this is I was able to retrieve the list of software installed locally on a system, and do a restore on the program files which those are based off of.

Expanding upon this, I should be able to combine this w/ registry snapshots / restorations (this is well documented) and use native automated service installation mechanisms (see relevant articles about doing this with postgres [2], and msiexec [3]) to enable full system backups and recovery using the same tooling for windows as with linux

In addition to all of this, I've submitted Snap to Fedora [4] and Ubuntu [5], any package reviews would be more than appreciated.

In any case, stay tuned for more updates!
