Abstract
A file directory tree structure of a selected storage snapshot is dynamically divided into different portions. A plurality of the different file directory tree structure portions are analyzed in parallel to identify any changes of the selected storage snapshot from a previous storage snapshot. To analyze each of the plurality of the different file directory tree structure portions, a processor is further configured to traverse and compare a corresponding file directory tree structure portion of the selected storage snapshot with a corresponding portion of a file directory tree structure of the previous storage snapshot while at least another one of the plurality of the different file directory tree structure portions of the selected storage snapshot is being analyzed in parallel.
