gNILFS

gNILFS is a GTK program written in Python to make life with NILFS partitions easier! You can quickly view partition status, Convert and mount Checkpoints or Snapshots, and you can even use the file browser to recover and restore file versions.

NILFS is file system that has great features like continuous snapshots and other tricks that make it look and feel like real time volume shadow copy.

To use:
Extract the zip

Ensure nilfs-tools are installed and a NILFS partition is mounted

cd to extracted folder

sudo python gNILFS.py

You must run gNILFS as root in order to convert and mount the checkpoints. Running gNILFS without root will only show you partition details.

I have installed and run this successfully on the latest Kali Linux, Raspbian Jessie and Ubuntu Distros. As long as you have GTK 3+ and Python 2 it should work on almost anything.
