1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • at a computing device;

    receiving a request to generate a revision of a virtual file system in at least one storage device, wherein the virtual file system has a hierarchical tree structure including a plurality of tree nodes, each tree node having associated metadata and corresponding to a respective component of the virtual file system;

    for each tree node;

    serializing the tree node'"'"'s associated metadata into an object;

    generating an object ID from the serialized object;

    storing the object in the storage device if the object ID is not found in an object-storage mapping table associated with the virtual file system; and

    inserting the object ID into the object-storage mapping table; and

    storing the object-storage mapping table in the storage device.
