Abstract
Examples include, in response to fulfillment of a tiering policy, dividing, by a cloud provider engine of a computing device, data blocks of a filesystem object into data chunks. Some examples comprise generating, by the cloud provider engine, a current manifest file in a local memory and causing the cloud storage system to generate a current pseudo folder in the cloud storage system corresponding to a particular epoch of the filesystem object. Some other examples comprise tiering, by the cloud provider engine, the data chunks and the current manifest file to the current pseudo folder, the current manifest including pointers to the data chunks corresponding to the filesystem object at the particular epoch.
