ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for tracking changes to a volume is disclosed. The method may comprise: 1) identifying a first snapshot of a volume, 2) identifying a window within which the first snapshot was created, the window beginning with a first point known to have occurred before the first snapshot and ending with a second point known to have occurred after the first snapshot, 3) identifying at least one change to the volume that occurred within the window, and 4) associating the at least one change that occurred within the window with both the first snapshot and a second snapshot created after the first snapshot. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
