A file system driver stored in a computational device receives a request to provide access to a snapshot of a rewritable file system at a selected point in time, wherein a plurality of tokens corresponding to a plurality of data units are stored in the rewritable file system, and wherein an ordering relationship is maintained among the plurality of tokens. The file system driver determines a token corresponding to the selected point in time based on the ordering relationship. A virtual subdirectory name is generated corresponding to the determined token. A virtual subdirectory is created with the generated virtual subdirectory name, wherein the virtual subdirectory is a subdirectory of a root directory. The snapshot is accessed via the subdirectory.
