Abstract
A computer-implemented method for cloud-based data protection storage may include (1) identifying a request to maintain a data protection image for a volume of data, (2) identifying a third-party storage service to use for storing the data protection image, (3) receiving a stream of data to apply to the data protection image, (4) buffering a portion of the stream of data, (5) writing the buffered portion of the stream to the third-party storage service as a single storage object, and (6) associating the single storage object with the buffered portion of the stream in a data map. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
