Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a system and method of providing consistent metadata to storage appliance objects in a network, by: obtaining environmental information that is available to deduplication backup program accessing the storage appliance objects, the environmental information comprising application name, client name, and client IP address; identifying file systems objects created by the deduplication backup program; and using a client-side generic network mount for the deduplication backup system to automatically create extended metadata for each of the identified DDR filesystem objects created through the deduplication backup program.
