Abstract
A system and method of performing an incremental backup process are disclosed. In certain aspects, the method comprises retrieving a first metadata associated with a previous backup process of a component from a backup location in a storage. The method further comprises passing the first metadata to the component for determining incremental backup data of the component corresponding to a difference between current data of the component and data of the component associated with the previous backup process. The method further comprises receiving information indicative of the incremental backup data from the component. The method further comprises receiving, from the component, a second metadata associated with the incremental backup process. The method also comprises storing the incremental backup data and the second metadata as associated with the incremental backup process.
