Abstract
A system and method are provided for sharing a data stream between a first data storage system in communication with a second data storage system. Meta-data is associated with each record of the data stream. Zero or more records of the data stream are compressed at the first storage system. The meta-data for the compressed data record is updated to indicate that the data record has been compressed. The data stream including the compressed data record with the updated meta-data is sent to the second storage system. The meta-data and the data stream records are stored on a storage device at the second data storage system.
