Region cloning for deduplication
Abstract:
In some examples, region cloning may include obtaining a clone request to clone a logical range of a source backup. The clone request may specify the source backup, a logical start offset, and a logical end offset. A source manifest associated with the logical range of the source backup may be determined. A start entry of the source manifest may be identified based on the logical start offset. The start entry may represent a start data chunk. A determination may be made as to whether the logical start offset represents an intermediate position of the start data chunk, and if so, a start partial chunk entry representing a sub-range of the start data chunk may be appended to a destination manifest. A backup of the logical range of the source backup may be generated based on the destination manifest with the appended start partial chunk entry.
