    Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for performing incremental backups of a source file system volume (FSV) managed by a source computing device. According to some embodiments, the source computing device can be configured to generate a current snapshot of the source FSV, where the current snapshot complements a previous snapshot of the source FSV (e.g., established during a previous backup). In some cases, to free up storage space, the data for files belonging to the source FSV can be stripped from the previous snapshot (where metadata for the files remains intact). Next, the source computing device can generate, within a destination storage device, a second snapshot of a destination FSV (that corresponds to the source FSV). In turn, the source computing device identifies changes made to the source FSV based on the current snapshot and the previous snapshot, and reflects the changes within the second snapshot of the destination FSV.

    Abstract: The subject technology displays an application window showing first contents of a given level of a hierarchical content structure associated with an electronic device. Upon receiving a first user input, a navigation bar is displayed. The navigation bar displays a path including levels for arriving at the first contents within the hierarchical content structure. The displayed path is determined based on metadata associated with contents displayed in the application window. Responsive to a user selection of one of the items of the hierarchical content structure displayed in the navigation bar, content items displayed in the application window are changed.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for file system management. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request at a kernel to perform a file operation on a particular file; identifying a flag bit associated with the file; invoking user space file handler to perform particular action when the flag bit is set; determining whether notification that action has been performed by file handler is received; and allowing the file operation on the file when notification is received.

    Abstract: A method is provided that includes initiating a copy operation to copy a set of files from a source location on a first storage device to a destination location on a second storage device. Metadata is stored on the second storage device in association with the destination location to include the source location on the first storage device and an indication that the copy operation has been initiated. The metadata is updated with identifying information of files from the set of files successfully copied from the source location to the destination location during the copy operation. After an interruption in the copy operation, the copy operation is resumed based on the metadata identifying the source location of the set of files and the identified files successfully copied from the source location to the destination location prior to the interruption.

    Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for preserving clone relationships between files at a computing device. In particular, the techniques involve identifying clone relationships between files in conjunction with performing operations on the files where it can be beneficial to preserve the clone relationships. The operations can include, for example, preserving clone relationships between files that are being copied from a source storage device (that supports file cloning) to a destination storage device that supports file cloning. Additionally, the operations can include preserving clone relationships when backing up and restoring files between a source storage device (that supports file cloning) and a destination storage device that does not support file cloning. In this manner, the various benefits afforded by the clone relationships between files can be retained even as the files are propagated to destination storage devices that may or may not support file cloning.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes receiving, while a current view of an application is displayed in a user interface, a first user input requesting that a history view associated with the current view of the application be displayed, retrieve data associated with the history view, determining a presentation format for the data, and displaying the history view in response to the first user input in accordance with the presentation format, the history view including data associated with at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view of the application.
