Abstract
A modular data and storage management system. The system includes a time variance interface that provides for storage into a storage media of data that is received over time. The time variance interface of the modular data and storage management system provides for retrieval, from the storage media, of an indication of the data corresponding to a user specified date. The retrieved indication of the data provides a user with an option to access specific information relative to the data, such as content of files that are included in the data.
Claims16
A method for accessing data corresponding to a user specified date, the method comprising:
- with one or more computer devices comprising computer hardware, processing data stored in one or more electronic storage devices to generate first display information, wherein the data includes one or more data structures representative of one or more electronic document folders, and the first display information is usable to display a first subset of the one or more electronic document folders as of a first date;
- electronically receiving information indicative of a user selection that corresponds to a second date that predates the first date;
- and
- subsequent to said electronically receiving, processing with the one or more computer devices the data stored in the one or more electronic folders storage devices to generate second display information usable to display a second subset of the one or more electronic document folders as of the second date, wherein the second subset of the one or more electronic document folders has at least one folder that is not included in the first subset of the one or more electronic document folders.
A system for accessing data corresponding to a user specified date, the method comprising:
- one or more electronic storage devices containing data including one or more data structures representative of one or more electronic document folders,
- one or more computer devices comprising computer hardware configured to:
- process the data stored in one or more electronic storage devices to generate first display information usable to display a first subset of the one or more electronic document folders as of a first date;
- electronically receive information indicative of a user selection that corresponds to a second date that predates the first date;
- and
- subsequent to said electronically receiving, process the data stored in the one or more electronic storage devices to generate second display information usable to display a second subset of the one or more electronic document folders as of the second date, wherein the second subset of the one or more electronic document folders has at least one folder that is not included in the first subset of the one or more electronic document folders.
