Abstract
The system for backing up data comprises an input interface configured to receive an input set of files. The system for backing up data additionally comprises a processor configured to add modified objects to a list of modified objects in the set of files, and, in the event it is determined to provide the list of modified objects to a backup process, provide the list to the backup process.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- adding, by one or more processors, a modified object to one or more lists of modified objects, the modified object being among a plurality of objects that are to be backed up, and the adding the modified object to the one or more lists of modified objects comprising:
- determining that the modified object is not within a defined proximity of other modified objects included in a corresponding at least one list of modified objects;
- and
- in response to determining that the modified object is not within the defined proximity of the other modified objects included in the corresponding at least one list of modified objects, creating a new list of modified objects and adding the modified object to the new list of modified objects;
- and
- performing a backup process with respect to the one or more lists of modified objects.
