Abstract:
Techniques are provided for incremental snapshot copy to an object store. A list of deallocated block numbers of primary storage of a computing device are identified. Entries for the list of deallocated block numbers are removed from a mapping metafile. A list of changed block numbers corresponding to changes between a current snapshot of the primary storage and a prior copied snapshot copied from the primary storage to the object store is determined. The mapping metafile is evaluated using the list of changed block numbers to identify a deduplicated set of changed block numbers without entries within the mapping metafile. An object, comprising data of the deduplicated set of changed block numbers, is transmitted to the object store for storage as a new copied snapshot.
