Abstract- Snapshot mechanisms are central to today's computing infrastructure, providing systems for saving states, supporting recovery of data, and providing resilience in operation. Current snapshot practices, however, tend to rely on static frequencies, which contribute to inefficient usage of resources and higher operating expenses. Static intervals for snapshots use up excess storage and computational capacity or expose high data loss on failure. This work recommends an Adaptive Snapshot Frequency Optimization (ASFO) model based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that dynamically controls snapshot frequencies in line with real-time system activity and workload patterns. Utilizing machine learning techniques such as reinforcement learning and predictive analysis, the ASFO model adapts to differences in workload levels, finding equilibrium between system performance, storage, and recovery time goals. The framework encompasses system workload monitoring, feature extraction, predictive modeling, and adaptive decision-making using AI-based controllers. The results from large-scale experiments and simulations on synthetic and real datasets prove that ASFO is capable of saving storage overhead by 32%, shortening recovery time by 24%, and decreasing operational expenses in comparison with conventional snapshotting mechanisms. Our findings support the effectiveness of AI in automating snapshot frequency control, enabling the development of more robust and effective data management systems. The research also sheds light on the selection of AI models, training methods, performance metrics, and deployment techniques for applying ASFO across different computing systems, such as cloud, database, and enterprise IT systems. This research is part of the increasing volume of research that is seeking to make data preservation systems intelligent, adaptive, and more effective.
