ABSTRACT:
Techniques for the session sensitive data backups and restores are presented. Data having a plurality of hard linked file references are backed up and restored once during a backup operation. Any modifications to the backed up data are noted as session-specific versions and also backed up once. The hard linked file references are maintained in a data structure and managed during backups to define associations to the backed up data and to the session-specific versions of the data. The data structure is also used during restores to re-establish desired hard linked file reference associations to either the backed up data or to a particular session-specific versions of the data.
