You could also use a filesystem that can do atomic snapshots - like ZFS.
However, I'm wondering why none of the previous respondents mentioned
it? Sure, ZFS may have its own performance implications... but my
experience is that it makes "safety snapshots" and "on-demand throw-away
testing environments" very convenient to use.
