Abstract
Example implementations relate to partial file system instances. In an example, a subset of objects of a source file system instance on a source system are replicated to a target system to form a partial file system instance on the target system comprised of the subset of objects. Each of the objects of the source file system instance is identified by a signature based on content of each of the objects and the objects exhibit a hierarchical relationship to a root object in the file system instance. An unmaterialized object is dynamically added to the partial file system instance by replicating the corresponding object from the source file system instance. The target system is asynchronously updated from the source file system instance based on a comparison of the partial file system instance to the source file system instance.
