SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT BACKUP SYSTEM AWARE DIRECT DATA MIGRATION BETWEEN CLOUD STORAGES

摘要

A file is backed up to a backup system. A first cloud storage provided by a first cloud provider is connected to the backup system and the file is moved to the first cloud storage. Metadata is created at the backup system to reference the file moved to the first cloud storage. A second cloud storage is connected to the backup system. The file is moved from the first cloud storage to the second cloud storage. The metadata at the backup system is updated to reference the file now residing at the second cloud storage.
