Abstract
Methods of cloning data backup across namespaces are disclosed. One or more source files are cloned from a first namespace to a second namespace, as one or more destination files. When the cloning of the source file(s) is performed, a data structure including source file information and destination file information is generated. A source synthetic file is cloned from the first namespace to the second namespace, as a destination synthetic file, where the source synthetic file uses the source file(s) as one or more base files on the first namespace. When the cloning of the source synthetic file is performed, the data structure is looked up to obtain the source file information and the destination file information. Based on the source file information and the destination file information, synthetic information of the destination synthetic file is updated to use the destination file(s) as one or more base files on the second namespace.
