1. A method of displaying a previous state of data in an application program, the method comprising:
- storing one or more versions of a data store containing a plurality of data objects created by an application program over time;
indexing each version of the data store according to a date; and
displaying, in a current version of the application program, a view of an indication of a data object contained in a first version of the data store whose date corresponds to a user specified date;
wherein the view of the indication in the current version of the application program is similar to the view of the indication in the application program at the date of the first version of the data store;
wherein the first version of the data store is a version previous to the current version of the application program; and
wherein the indication allows a user to retrieve at least a portion of the data object.

Abstract
A modular data and storage management system. The system includes a time variance interface that provides for storage into a storage media of data that is received over time. The time variance interface of the modular data and storage management system provides for retrieval, from the storage media, of an indication of the data corresponding to a user specified date. The retrieved indication of the data provides a user with an option to access specific information relative to the data, such as content of files that are included in the data.

5. A system for displaying a previous state of data in an application program, the system comprising:
-
a processor; an application program; one or more versions of a data store containing a plurality of data objects created by the application program over time; and a plurality of storage media storing the one or more versions of the data store and communicatively coupled to the processor, the plurality of storage media having data stored in at least one of the plurality of storage media; wherein the processor is programmed to index each version of the data store according to a date; and
display, in a current version of the application program, a view of an indication of a data object from a first version of the data store whose date corresponds to a user specified date;wherein the view of the indication in the current version of the application program is similar to the view of the indication in the application program at the date of the first version of the data store; wherein the first version of the data store is a version previous to the current version of the application program; and wherein the indication allows a user to retrieve at least a portion of the data object. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A computer usable medium or media storing program code which, when executed on a computerized device, causes the computerized device to execute a method of displaying a previous state of data in an application program, the method comprising:
-
storing one or more versions of a data store containing a plurality of data objects created by an application program over time; indexing each version of the data store according to a date; and displaying, in a current version of the application program, a view of an indication of a data object from a first version of the data store whose date corresponds to a user specified date; wherein the view of the indication in the current version of the application program is similar to the view of the indication in the application program at the date of the first version of the data store; wherein the first version of the data store is a version previous to the current version of the application program; and wherein the indication allows a user to retrieve at least a portion of the data object. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
