This keeps the number of snapshots reasonable while keeping most stuff around should you accidentally delete or overwrite it. I can see a good argument for more fine grained snapshots (e.g. every few minutes) but I think I&amp;#x27;d limit that to directories (and thus FSes) known to have frequent updates.&lt;p&gt;I sometimes blow away all snapshots if I have a big clear out or rewrite of data, or else that stuff sticks around for months.</text></comment>
