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.
