Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system for accessing units of storage that depends at least in part on an address of the unit of storage and the time that data was written to the unit of storage. A virtual data store can be created that reflects the state of an original data store at a specified time, where the specified time is selected, for example, from a substantially continuous time interval.
