  • displaying at a display device an interface including a first portion of a linear scale having first upper and lower bounds, a first plurality of indicators identifying first demarcations of the linear scale between the first upper and lower bounds, a first selectable item arranged along the linear scale and corresponding to a single data item, and a second selectable item arranged along the linear scale and corresponding to multiple data items;

    receiving a selection of the second selectable item;

    modifying the interface to include a second portion of the linear scale having second upper and lower bounds and the multiple data items corresponding to the second selectable item;

    modifying the interface to include a preview interface, the preview interface including a preview of at least one data item corresponding to the second selectable item;

    wherein the preview interface includes at least one of;

    a right arrow icon at a right side of the preview interface that is selectable to display a first additional preview associated with a first particular selectable item by adding the first additional preview to the right side of the preview interface while concurrently displaying on the linear scale an indication of the first particular selectable item; and

    a left arrow icon at a left side of the preview interface that is selectable to display a second additional preview associated with a second particular selectable item by adding the second additional preview to the left side of the preview interface while concurrently displaying on the linear scale an indication of the second particular selectable item; and

    wherein the linear scale represents a segment of time, wherein each selectable item arranged along the linear scale is associated with a particular point in time and represents at least one version of one or more computer files that was backed up at the particular point in time, and wherein the preview interface includes at least one preview of at least one of the one or more computer files corresponding to each selectable item on the linear scale, the preview interface displayed concurrently with a visually designated sub-portion of the second portion of the linear scale and the visually designated sub-portion indicating one or more back-up times associated with the one or more computer files.
