Abstract

A method and system for implementing data lossless synthetic full backups. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein improves upon traditional synthetic full backup operations by considering all user-checkpoint branches, rather than just the active user-checkpoint branch, representing all chains of incremental changes to a virtual disk of a virtual machine. In considering all user-checkpoint branches, no data pertinent to users involved in the development of the non-active (or inactive) user-checkpoint branches is lost.
