Abstract
The invention is a system and method for generating a file system model at a selected point in time without requiring sequential generation of file system models for each point in time prior to the selected point in time. Present data modeling require that data be generated using some initial point, then passed through time intervals in order to simulate the data at a later point in time. The invention does not require sequential data generation. Instead, any arbitrary point in time may be selected, and the data may be modeled at that selected timepoint. The invention stores a compact representation of file system data for each timepoint. Whenever a user wants to simulate data at some timepoint, the proper compact representation is selected and expanded to produce a simulation of the data at that timepoint.
