Methods and systems for transforming a logical data object for storage in a storage device configured to operate with at least one storage protocol. One method comprises creating in the storage device a transformed logical data object comprising a one or more allocated storage sections with a predefined size and receiving one or more data chunks corresponding to the transformed logical data object. The method further comprises determining if each received data chunk comprises a predefined criterion, transforming each data chunk that comprises the predefined criterion, maintaining each data chuck in raw form that does not comprise the predefined criterion, and sequentially storing each transformed data chuck and data chunk in raw form into said one or more allocated storage sections in accordance with an order said transformed data chunks and data chunks in raw form are received. One system comprises a processor configured to perform the above method.
