Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for restoring a single data stream file from a snapshot without the need to copy every individual block or inode from the snapshot. A file restore process duplicates the inode of a file within the active file system and performs a reconciliation process between the blocks of the twin inode and the snapshot inode. If the file does not exist within the active file system, a new buffer tree is created that points to the data blocks stored in the snapshot.
