=====Possible Use Cases=====
*: or available separately at http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarCellar
+
(from Wiki Page)
 +
:'''Curriculum packaging'''
 +
  1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term.
 +
  2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content
 +
    (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations
 +
    (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
 +
  3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
 +
  4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.
 +
 
 +
:'''Full image backup or sharing'''
 +
  1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation.
 +
  2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.
 +
  3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup.
 +
  4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
 +
  5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.
 +
 
 +
This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.
