Abstract
A method includes identifying, by a host computing device hosting a virtual machine, a plurality of disk volumes of a virtual disk stored on a first storage device, wherein the disk volumes are arranged in a hierarchical order. The method further includes determining, by the host computing device, a block that is present in a first disk volume and a second disk volume of the plurality of disk volumes, wherein the second disk volume is at a higher level in the hierarchical order than the first disk volume. The method also includes copying, by the host computing device, data from the block stored on the first storage device to a backup disk volume residing on a second storage device and removing the block on the first storage device.
