Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for processing a snapshot structure of a storage system, wherein the snapshot structure includes one or more temporal indicators and defines a plurality of elements including one or more snapshots, wherein the one or more temporal indicators are incremented to indicate the point at which a data entry was initially added to the snapshot structure. A snapshot matrix is generated based, at least in part, upon the snapshot structure, wherein the snapshot matrix defines the storage space used by one or more eclipsed elements and associated eclipsing elements.
