Saved by Snapshots

Guess what… I’ve already benifitted from setting up a snapshot regimen.
Yup. That didn’t take long. I made a global subsitute in a file where I should have specified only the lines after the cursor. I didn’t realize what I’d done. But I was making blogging changes with Jekyll in update mode. So I could see I’d screwed something up immediately but I couldn’t tell what. And attempting to undo it didn’t work.
A quick peek into the snapshots directory and it became clear I’d screwed up the YAML header stuff. Again… YAML is PICKY!!
I loved having this many years ago on Solaris. So I knew of the benefit of having it. And I imagined I’d need it to protet myself from myself. I didn’t expect to need it so soon.
