And so will my son and daughter. I don't know about making it blue, but you can do "automatic" recoveries. Just get a handful of big hard drives (2TB are ~$80 nowadays) and set them up in a RAID, using BTRFS as a file system. Then set up a cron job to take automatic snapshots every hour, and another one to merge/coalesce hourly snapshots older than one month, leaving the midnight/4AM snapshot in place. When you want to see how your file system looked last week, just mount the appropriate snapshot. It is not 100% enterprise ready, but the functionality is all there.
