Abstract

See full text

A system and method are disclosed for managing snapshots of a file system. In accordance with one implementation, the method includes receiving, by a processing device, a request to access a snapshot of a file system and in response to determining that the requested snapshot is active, providing, to the user account, access to the requested snapshot. The method also includes in response to determining that the requested snapshot is inactive: activating the requested snapshot, providing to the user account, after the activating, access to the requested snapshot; and in response to determining, after the activating, that a number of active snapshots exceeds a threshold number of active snapshots, selecting an active snapshot and deactivating the selected active snapshot, wherein the threshold number of active snapshots corresponds to a limit on resources of the file system that are devoted to active snapshots.
