Abstract
In general, embodiments relate to a method for performing rename operations, the method comprising: obtaining a rename list from a snapshot difference report, sorting the rename list to obtain an ordered rename list, making a determination using the ordered rename list that circular rename entries exist in the ordered rename list, based on the determination, creating a plurality of temporary target paths based on the circular rename entries, generating a temporary rename list of the rename operations, generating a circular rename list of the rename operations, performing rename operations in the temporary rename list, and after completing operations in the temporary rename list, performing rename operations in the circular rename list.
