Abstract
A method and apparatus for reverting a resource to a prior state in time is provided. Changes are committed to a resource at a particular point in time. After the particular point in time, a request, which may be a file system operation request, to revert the resource to a state prior to the particular point in time is received at a database server. In response to the request, the resource is reverted to the state prior to the particular point in time. The current state of the resource ceases to reflect the plurality of changes. Advantageously, if a requestor creates an incorrect version of a resource, the changes made to a schema-based resource are not compatible with the schema, or the changes of multiple requesters are not compatible with each other, the resource may be reverted to the earlier point in time.
