The present disclosure discusses systems and methods for replicating backups between deduplicated storage devices. Differences between related backups may be identified, and only those differences may be transferred. This may minimize data transfer and optimize resource consumption.

Optimizing replication of similar backup datasets

Establishing file relationships based on file operations is disclosed. In various embodiments, a base file relationship between a file associated with a file operation and a base file of the file associated with the file operation is determined programmatically. A base file attribute data that represents the base file relationship between the file associated with the file operation and the base file is stored.
