Abstract
A method of backing up a computing device comprises storing in the computing device, prior to any first backup of the computing device, a selected pre-populated Reference File that comprises one or more references to at least some of the data blocks stored in the computing device. A first backup may then be initiated. The first back may cause references to data blocks in the computing device that are unrepresented in the pre-populated Reference File to be added to the Reference File. The data blocks corresponding to the added references may then be sent to a backup server over a computer network.
