    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.
