Abstract

Described are techniques for determining one or more logical data objects for a storage location. The storage location indicating a location on a device of a data storage system is provided. A list of one or more logical data objects is received. For each of the one or more logical data objects, one or more related data storage system locations associated with each logical data object are determined. It is determined whether the storage location is included in any of the one or more logical data objects. It is also identified whether, for each of the one or more logical data objects, the storage location is one of the one or more related data storage system locations associated with each logical data object.
