Abstract
A storage system including journaling comprises a controller capable of coupling to at least one storage device and to at least one journaling device, and a process executable on the controller. The executable process comprises a resolve utility capable of determining logical unit, track, and sector identification for a selected file on the at least one storage device, a user interface enabling a user to select tracks and sectors on the at least one storage device for restoration to a predetermined point in time, and a restoration utility. The restoration utility accesses data corresponding to the selected tracks and sectors from the journaling device and restores the data to the track and sector locations of the storage device to the predetermined point in time.
