Abstract
As disclosed herein, a method for optimizing data synchronization when performing a block-level backup includes receiving a customized merging plan, and creating a padding map that includes missing data information, and sending the padding map to a local backup server to request missing data. The method further includes receiving from the local backup server the missing data, and performing a snapshot consolidation according to the customized merging plan to provide a consolidated snapshot.
