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.
