if you used rsync to copy the data to a dataset, or filsystem, and then snapshot it, all the data will be there even if changes have been done later.  A snapshot isn't incremental, it's an image of what was there.

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
