Abstract
Disclosed is a method of operating a data storage system. The method comprises generating first metadata describing storage of a volume of data in a first storage volume, storing the volume of data within a second storage volume, generating second metadata describing storage of the volume of data in the second storage volume, and processing the first metadata and the second metadata to increase sparseness of the volume of data stored in the second storage volume.
