Abstract
A method for improving performance of data container backups comprises identifying a data container on a source computer to be backed up. A snapshot image of the data container is generated, wherein the snapshot image comprises one or more partitions. Data is read simultaneously from each of the one or more partitions to a destination computer over one or more transport paths. Each of the one or more transport paths comprises one or more threads. The data read to the destination computer is backed up such that the data retains a physical block sequence of the data container.
