Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to improve backup and restore performance in deduplication storage environments. A metadata stream that includes data segment offsets that are associated with data segments of a previous backup image and indicate data segment boundaries is received. An offset for an include operation is determined. The include operation references one or more data segments, and is part of a request to perform a backup operation. The backup operation is performed by modifying the include operation, if the offset involves one or more partial data segments.
