Abstract
A method for providing data protection in object-based storage environments may include: 1) taking a first snapshot, at a first time, of a set of partitions that store data of a file system on a set of object storage devices; 2) using the first snapshot to sync the data of the file system with a data protection node; 3) taking a second snapshot, at a second time, of the set of partitions; 4) using information from the set of object storage devices to identify at least one object that changed between the first and second times; 5) using object identification information to deduce file identification information that identifies a file that comprises the changed object; and 6) sending the changed object and the file identification information to the data protection node. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
