Abstract
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for defragmenting backup objects. A metadata object having first format addresses for data sets in data objects for a volume is copied to a temporary metadata object. The data sets in the data objects are copied to consecutive second format addresses in temporary data objects to defragment data in the data sets in the data objects. The first format and the second format addresses comprise different address formats. The temporary metadata object and the temporary data objects are stored in the storage to provide a backup of the volume.
