Design Pattern for Undo Engine

In general, how do you deal with supporting an "undo" feature in your application? I have worked on web apps and desktop apps alike, and I have never really felt comfortable with any "undo" system I've made.

I believe it should be Command design pattern.

Here is article about multilevel Undo/Redo with Command pattern.

EDIT: Here is second about multilevel Undo/Redo with Memento pattern.

So probably it can be done with both.

I'd vote in favor of Command pattern over Memento. Memento pattern would be much costlier then Command patterns for Undo/Redo functionality.

Capturing and Restoring object state will be quite an expensive affair compared to just doing or undoing an action on any compatible object.
