Abstract
Example implementations relate to backups to a secondary storage system of a file system instance that hierarchically relates data objects by content-based signatures to a root object and includes subtrees that correspond to respective inodes. In an example, a list of the content-based signatures is sent to the secondary storage system. Metadata and data of a subtree is stored into an item in the secondary storage system designated for the subtree.
