Abstract

A system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium provide backup and archive services for computing devices. Typically, multiple backup snapshots are archived together in each archive cycle. A catalogue for the current archive is efficiently created by starting with a copy of the previous archive catalogue and updating it based on metadata associated with the backup snapshots.
