Abstract
Techniques for archiving data in cloud/object storage using local metadata staging are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system residing at an on-premises site comprising on-premises storage can receive a snapshot of a dataset to be archived. The computer system can package data in the snapshot into one or more fixed-size data chunks and upload the one or more fixed-size data chunks to cloud/object storage. Further, concurrently with the packaging and the uploading, the computer system can stage metadata for the snapshot in the on-premises storage. Then, upon uploading all of the data of the snapshot, the computer system can upload the metadata staged in the on-premises storage to the cloud/object storage.
