Abstract
A computer-implemented method for creating reference-based synthetic backups. The method may include identifying a first set of references that identify data of a first backup. The first backup may represent at least a portion of a data set at a first time. The method may also include identifying a second set of references that identify data of a second backup. The second backup may represent changes made to the data set between the first time and a second time. The method may further include creating a synthetic backup that represents at least a portion of the data set at the second time by aggregating one or more references from the first set of references and one or more references from the second set of references. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
