Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing data in cloud storage using deduplication techniques is described. At least one unique segment of data is received from at least one backup source. The at least one unique segment of data is written to at least one container file associated with the at least one back up source. An index file is created for the at least one container file. The index file includes information regarding the unique segments of data. A plurality of the unique segments of data is transmitted from the at least one container file as an object to a virtual container on cloud storage. A virtual container is composed of an index file and one or more container files, and the index file and each container file are stored as individual cloud storage objects. Spatial locality of the plurality of unique segments of data is maintained in cloud storage.
