A data management method is provided for storing a real-time history of a file system, or a component thereof, such as a directory or a file. The real-time history is stored as an object-oriented logical representation comprising at least a set of version metadata objects, and a set of one or more links that associate given objects of the set of version metadata objects. As one or more events occur in the real-time history, the logical representation is restructured dynamically. The logical representation is useful to provide any point-in-time reconstruction of the file system component on an as-needed basis.
