Abstract: A system and method for managing a transactional storage system may include recording, for a data element in a storage transaction, a time of the storage transaction and a data element identifier. If more than one packaging operations (POs) are required for reducing the number of stored storage transactions related to the data element identifier then a system and method may reduce the number of POs by: receiving, for the data element identifier, a first and a second PO commands respectively related to a first and a second time intervals, and if the first time interval is contained in the second time interval then selecting to execute only the second PO command.
