Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for storing information within hybrid storage with local and cloud-based storage devices may include (1) dividing, if required, at the computing device, a file into multiple portions, (2) storing a first portion of the multiple portions as at least one first respective separate object on a local volume stored on the local storage device, (3) storing a second portion of the multiple portions as at least one second respective separate object on a cloud-based volume stored on a cloud-based storage device, and (4) naming each stored portion of the file with a respective object name comprising file metadata describing respective characteristics of the respective portion of the file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
