Lrwxrwxrwx 1 igor igor 3 Feb 7 10:52 current -> 110Īt first glance, the system-level data and user data may seem identical, but as you navigate deeper into the folder structure, you will notice the differences. The contents of the same snap under /home/(user)/snap/gimp/: ls -laĭrwxr-xr-x 6 igor igor 4096 Feb 22 07:51.
Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 22 07:51 current -> 130 Moreover, there will also be a sub-directory called common in each snap folder in your home, containing components that are not specific to any particular revision of the snap, like generic configurations or cached data.įor instance, the contents of the gimp snap under /snap/gimp/: ls -laĭrwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Feb 22 07:51. User data will be stored under /home/(your user)/snap/.Įach revision of the snap will be stored in a separate directory, with incremental numbers, e.g.: 6 or 42, with the symbolic link current pointing to the version that is in use, typically the latest revision.Application data will be stored under /snap, or /var/snapd (like in Fedora).When you install a new snap, the application data will be saved in two main locations: This week, we will talk about another important aspect of how to preserve your data – snapshots.
Last week, we talked about application backups. It is vital to have a good backup procedure in place, so you can quickly and smoothly recover, and resume your work. Over time, every one of us will experience some kind of hardware failure, be it an optical disk, a hard disk or a lost phone. While many scenarios fall into the realm of if, data loss belongs in the when domain. Data backups are arguably the most important part of one’s software setup.
