At high risk of sounding very stupid... I guess Cake went right over

I see now.. and now I remember reading a bit about it too.  But, its
not really like what I was talking about... or at least is not as fine

show how fine it can go.

If I wanted to be able to go back in time with just /etc for example.
Is it also possible?
