Another slashdot post I figured the community might enjoy:

As one of the comments puts it, this adds a "Time Machine-esque" function to Solaris, through which a user can specify backup frequency, and when needed browse from available snapshots to restore files.

Very cool recovery feature... Would love to see this in (K)Ubuntu.

I didn't figure this belonged in any specific distro / gnome talk, since it potentially applies outside of Gnome and any specific distro.

As far as I understand it's just a plugin for nautilus from Sun. And not part of the offical GNOME.

And there exists something similar for Ubuntu (or Linux/GNOME in general), called TimeVault:
