Abstract
A computer-implemented method for indexing backup file metadata may include 1) identifying a request to perform a full backup of a volume, 2) identifying a file metadata index for previous backups of the volume, 3) adding a current key uniquely identifying the file within the full backup and an identifier of the full backup to the file metadata index, 4) comparing the current key to the file metadata index to determine whether the current key is represented in the file metadata index, and 5) adding file metadata to the file metadata index for each file within the volume that is uniquely represented by the current key of the file within the file metadata index. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
