Abstract:
Systems and methods for restoring a file system to a point-in-time without relying on a backup. One system includes an electronic processor configured to automatically restore a file system to a specified point-in-time by (a) automatically restoring, from a recycle bin, items deleted from the file system after the point-in-time, (b) automatically deleting, from the file system, items created within the file system after the point-in-time, (c) automatically moving items moved within the file system after the point-in-time to a location within the file system associated with the point-in-time, (d) automatically deleting, from the file system, items copied within the file system after the point-in-time, (e) automatically renaming items renamed within the file system after the point-in-time to a name associated with the point-in-time, and (f) automatically restoring, from a version history, a version associated with the point-in-time for items with content modified after the point-in-time.
