Abstract
The described technology is generally directed towards creating snapshot change lists that describe differences between snapshots that capture file system states at different times. Also described is the use of snapshot change lists for updating an index that represents the objects in the file system at a given time. Data services jobs may be run against the index to select files, instead of running the jobs against the actual file system namespace, which is typically far more efficient when dealing with large file system namespaces.
