Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed relating to handling snapshot data for a storage device. In one embodiment, a computing system maintains information that indicates the state of data associated with an application at a particular point in time. In this embodiment, the computing system assigns an epoch number to a current epoch, where the current epoch is an interval between the particular point in time and a future point in time. In this embodiment, the computing system writes, during the current epoch, a block of data to the storage device. In this embodiment, the writing the block of data includes storing the epoch number with the block of data.
