Techniques are described for incrementally determining checksums for a snapshot. An example method comprises identifying, by a data platform implemented by a computing system, a plurality of leaf nodes and a plurality of intermediate nodes in tree data corresponding to a snapshot of a storage system at a particular time, wherein the intermediate nodes each comprise one or more pointers identifying one or more of the leaf nodes, and the leaf nodes each include an indication of file system data of the storage system. The method includes determining, by the data platform, a checksum for each of the leaf nodes, determining, by the data platform, a checksum for each intermediate node based on the checksum of the one or more leaf nodes identified by the pointers of the intermediate node; and storing, by the data platform, the checksum for each of the leaf nodes and each of the intermediate nodes.
