Another way is to use btrfs (or zfs or perhaps LVM snapshots): whenever
something goes south in a way that's not trivial to recover, you can
restore with a couple commands and reboot.  And if unbootable because,
for example, someone removed support for your CPU, you boot with
subvol=backups/sys-2016-05-07.
