Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and method for storing and managing states of a computing device. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises determining an initial state of the computing device, wherein the initial state includes states of all storage sectors associated with the computing device, storing the determined initial state in an initial blocks storage, for each new state that corresponds to a respective point in time subsequent to a time at which the initial state was determined, creating a snapshot, where the created snapshot includes a difference between the initial state and the new state, for each created snapshot, identifying a set of changed blocks that are in storage, and storing the changed blocks of data to a changed blocks storage, and creating a snap-map for any number of consecutive changes based on the sets of changed blocks corresponding to the respective consecutive changes.
