Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and method for performing data backups using a persistent cache. A method may include storing at least one archive metadata page of a plurality of archive metadata pages in a local persistent cache, wherein the archive metadata pages are associated with a plurality of files backed up from a local storage volume of the computing device to an archive; detecting that a file of the plurality of files is modified on the local storage volume; performing an incremental backup of the modified file, by: determining whether an archive metadata page of the modified file is stored in the persistent cache, in response to determining that the archive metadata page of the modified file is comprised in the at least one archive metadata page, retrieving the archive metadata page from the persistent cache; and executing the incremental backup of the modified file using the archive metadata page.
