Abstract: A method and system for backup and recovery of data objects accessible to a computer system may identify data events associated with the data objects. Metadata providing a record of data events associated with a data object, including information identifying prior versions of a data object may be stored in a central index. An indication of a plurality of data objects may be displayed on a single panel display object, along with a revision history for each displayed data object. The revision history may include an indication of previous versions of the data object, which may be selectable and accessible from the single panel display object. The single panel display object may further display a timeline with a selectable timescale. The timescale may be associated with a color scale, which may also be used in the display of the data objects and their respective revision histories.
