Abstract
A processor may receive a request to transmit a logical volume to a cloud-based server. The logical volume may be stored in a data storage subsystem that includes one or more ranks. Each rank may include one or more extents, which may include one or more stride. The processor may determine an extent of the one or more extents that includes data of the logical volume. The processor may determine a set of strides associated with the extent. The processor may copy the set of strides into a stride buffer and combine the set of strides into a block extent file. The processor may transmit the block extent file to the cloud server.
