    Abstract: Example implementations relate to metadata operations in a storage system. An example includes a machine-readable medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a processor to: receive a data stream to be stored in persistent storage of a deduplication storage system; store data units of the data stream in a container entity group object according to arrival time, where the data units of the container entity group object are referenced by a plurality of container indexes; generate a data index to list each container index that references at least one data unit included in the container entity group object; and in response to a determination that the total size of the container entity group object exceeds the threshold size, transfer the container entity group object from memory to the persistent storage.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to metadata operations in a storage system. An example includes detecting, by a storage controller of a deduplication storage system, a housekeeping operation to perform updates to data of a set of container indexes of stored deduplicated data; in response to a detection of the housekeeping operation, the storage controller identifying, among the set of container indexes, a plurality of container indexes associated with a particular journal group, the particular journal group comprising a plurality of journals to store updates to data of the plurality of container indexes, respectively; and maintaining, by the storage controller, the particular journal group loaded in memory until all of the updates of the housekeeping operation to the plurality of container indexes have been stored in the respective journals of the particular journal group.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to journals for metadata changes. An example includes detecting, by a storage controller of a deduplication storage system, a cloning operation of a manifest range; loading a journal from persistent storage into memory in response to the detected cloning operation, wherein the journal is to store changes to a container index associated with the manifest range, and wherein the container index is not loaded into the memory in response to the detected cloning operation; and updating the journal in the memory to include an indication of changes to metadata of the container index that is not loaded into the memory, wherein the changes to the metadata are associated with the detected cloning operation.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to deduplication operations in a storage system. An example includes receiving data units of a backup stream to be stored in a deduplication storage system; performing a first matching operation to match the data units against a first container index of a plurality of container indexes, where the plurality of container indexes comprise metadata indicating storage locations of data units previously stored in the persistent storage; calculating a first ratio indicating the amount of deduplication that occurred during the first matching operation against the first container index; and in response to a determination that the first ratio violates a condition with respect to local ratio history data of the first container index, identifying at least one portion of the backup stream as being potentially affected by a ransomware attack.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to metadata operations in a storage system. An example storage system includes a machine-readable storage storing instructions executable by a processor to determine to generate a synthetic full backup based on data stream representations of a plurality of data streams. The instructions are also executable to, in response to a determination to generate the synthetic full backup, create a logical group including the data stream representations. The instructions are also executable to specify a cache resource allocation for the logical group, and generate the synthetic full backup from data stream representations using an amount of a cache resource limited by the cache resource allocation for the logical group.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to storing manifest portions in a metadata cache. An example includes receiving, by a storage controller, a read request associated with a first data unit. In response to receiving the read request, the storage controller stores a manifest portion in a metadata cache, the stored manifest portion comprising a plurality of records, the plurality of records including a first record associated with the first data unit. The storage controller determines storage information of the first data unit using pointer information included in the first record of the stored manifest portion, and replaces the pointer information in the first record with the determined storage information of the first data unit.
