Many applications and computing environments, such as data storage systems, provide data backup and restoration features. It may be advantageous to provide file level backups that may be accessible to a user through a directory structure of a file system. Accordingly, fileshots comprising backup data of a file may be stored as metadata of the file. For example, a fileshot may be stored within a stream directory as a hidden stream linked off of the file. Fileshots may be associated within a directory interface (e.g., a command prompt or graphical user interface), which may be presented to a user. In this way, the user may access and/or manage fileshots through the directory interface (e.g., the user may create fileshots, restore files with fileshots, copy fileshots, etc.). Additionally, fileshot metadata may be maintained for fileshots. The fileshot metadata may be used to locate fileshot and/or perform fileshot commands.
