Abstract
One embodiment provides a method for retrospective snapshot creation including creating, by a processor, a first snapshot that captures logical state of a data store at a first time in a time range. Creation of the first snapshot is based on determining existence of a second snapshot that captures logical state of the data store and recording a retrospective snapshot at a last valid log address offset prior to the first time upon a determination that the second snapshot exists based on determining at least one of: whether log address offsets from a first log entry of a log to a log entry of the log at the first time are contiguous and whether log address offsets from the second snapshot to the first time are contiguous.
