Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for providing snapshot version control. A method includes creating a snapshot corresponding to a file system at a first point in time. After creating the snapshot, a file management data structure of the file system is modified corresponding to a file creation, deletion, or modification. The modified file management data structure is compared to the snapshot to identify differences between the snapshot and the file management data structure. A user may select one or more of the identified differences for merging the selected differences from the snapshot to the file management data structure or from the file management data structure to the snapshot.

Abstract: An example method of interacting with a source object via a virtual object, the method includes associating a first set of properties of a virtual object with a second set of properties of a source object that is defined in a program. The method also includes defining a set of functions corresponding to the associated first and second sets of properties and receiving a first request to instantiate the virtual object. The source object is instantiated in response to the first request. The method further includes receiving a second request to perform an operation using the first set of properties of the virtual object and executing the set of functions in response to the second request. The method also includes updating the second set of properties of the source object in accordance with a result of the executed set of functions.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for operating system integrated application isolation. A snapshot manager creates a snapshot table including one or more pointers to a file system storage. Then an application is installed on an operating system and mapped to a snapshot table. The snapshot manager receives a request by the application to access a memory block. The snapshot manager determines whether the application has permission to access the memory block. Responsive to a determination that the application has permission to access the memory block, the snapshot manager permits access to the memory block.
