Abstract
A backup of a database is determined to be performed. A backup of at least a portion of contents of a storage volume that includes data of the database is performed. The backup includes a step of creating a new metadata tree root node. Creating the new metadata tree root node includes copying from another metadata tree root node of a tree data structure corresponding to a previous backup instance, one or more references to one or more lower tier metadata tree nodes associated with the tree data structure corresponding to the previous backup instance.
