+snap is a tool for the management of UFS2 snapshots created
+by mount(8). It can maintain hourly, daily and weekly snap-
+shots while trying to minimize the disk space occupied. The
+snapshots created are labeled with their creation time, and
+users can create them manually.
+
+The major advantage over sysutils/freebsd-snapshot is that
+it uses hardlink to save diskspace, mark each snapshot with
+its creation time and calculates redundancy in a smart way.
