1. In a versioned file system (VFS) employing a VFS interface services to a local data storage system, a method for restoring such VFS interface services to the local data storage system by replacing a first VFS interface with a second VFS interface, the method comprising:

  • taking the first VFS interface offline so that it no longer accepts new data or requests for data from the local data storage system while maintaining the first VFS interface powered and running at least a first side-loading daemon on said first VFS interface;

    taking a snapshot of data from the first VFS interface and synchronizing said data from the first VFS interface to the VFS;

    taking the second VFS interface online so that it is powered, running at least a second side-loading daemon, and addressable using a network address;

    placing said first and second side-loading daemons in data communication with one another;

    receiving at the second VFS interface, through the second side-loading daemon, a copy of data from the first VFS interface, provided through said first side-loading daemon; and

    restoring VFS interface services to the local data storage system whereby the second VFS interface accepts data and requests for data from the local data storage system and services the same.
