Change runbook that record changes & allow selective rebuild
There's a request for "Change runbook" that documents/records changes from Day 1
so that in the event of bad changes (malicious or inadvertent ones) being introduced
over along the line of changes, we can rebuild a server/system back selectively,
dropping the "bad" change so that we can bring up the system to a "clean" slate.
Was told it's not "Change Control" nor CRs that we are looking at here.
I've suggested that a 'bare metal' backup be done with incremental backups (think
EMC has one such product) but this is not what the team requires.
Any document, tools or method are much appreciated.

In fact a continuous backup that we could selectively skip certain
days (where there is insidious tampering) backup would be ideal
as after the insidious/malicious change, there could be good
data/changes that follow that need to be recovered/restored

For eg:
Day 1: the initial good build
Day 2: legit/good updates were made
Day 3: an insidious/malicious update were made
Day 4: good legit updates/changes were made
We want to restore till Day 2, skip Day 3, restore Day 4

The link provided is about Acronis backup:
is GFS a filesystem and is it supported on
Windows & Solaris platforms?

Googling gives links that GFS = Grandfth, Fathr, Son.
Is GFS supported on backup tools like BackupExec,
Veeam, Oracle native/RMan backup ?

Hi Sunhux,
Indeed the link provided is referring to setting up GFS scheme under Acronis Backup 12.5.
Since you tagged Acronis I was under the impression that you're using our products - please correct me if that is not the case.
As for other backup tools, you'd better consult with the relevant products user guides to be 100% sure.

Above URL looks like what my colleague referred to.
I think taking a full bare metal backup with a combination
of differential plus incremental backups will enable us to
skip certain change/state that is bad/corrupt in the rebuild
