If you use windows or mac, you probably believe these filesystem are pretty reliable too. hunk ./templates/maciddatasafety.st 72 -

My understanding is that macid serialization works by writing state change event data - one file at a time, and that by "replaying" the information here - in the order specified by the file names, you can recreate the state up to the time of the last write. +
