Abstract: An Application Data Management System (ADMS) enables an application file system to be mounted at any selected reconstruction time (TR). If the reconstruction time TR falls intermediate snapshot creation timepoints, the ADMS creates a version of the application file system at the selected reconstruction time TR using a snapshot of the data file from a previous application file system snapshot creation timepoint, and a snapshot of the log file from a subsequent application file system snapshot creation timepoint. The ADMS uses the snapshot of the log file from the subsequent snapshot creation timepoint to replay transactions on the snapshot of the data file from the previous snapshot creation timepoint up to the selected reconstruction time TR. This enables the state of the application file system to be recreated and mounted at any arbitrary selected reconstruction time, even if the selected reconstruction time is not coincident with snapshot creation timepoints.
