Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a method for preserving temporal locality in disk-based backup systems by receiving a plurality of save streams each comprising a data stream and a metadata stream, directing the data streams to a plurality of respective data containers, and the metadata streams to a single shared metadata container, and assigning metadata streams using the shared metadata container to their own respective compression region to preserve locality at the compression region level.
