Abstract
A method, computer program product, computing system, and system for preventive hash loading are described. The method may include receiving an indication at a storage server that a machine will be backed up. The method may further include loading fingerprints of blocks related to a previous backup of the machine to RAM of the storage server. The method may also include searching the storage server for fingerprints in the RAM that match fingerprints of incoming blocks from the machine being backed up. The method may additionally include, in response to determining that the fingerprints of the incoming blocks do not match fingerprints in the RAM, searching for the fingerprints in a database. Moreover, the method may include transferring only blocks from the machine being backed up that are not in the RAM or the database of the storage server to the storage server.
