Abstract
Described is a system (and method) for efficient object storage management when backing up data to a cloud-based object storage. The system may be implemented as part of a server (or gateway) that provides a backup service to a client device by acting as an intermediary when backing up data from the client device to a third-party cloud-based object storage. The system may implement various specialized procedures to efficiently store backup data as objects within the object storage. The procedures may include packing client data into objects of a consistent size to improve storage performance. The system may also improve storage performance and conserve storage by analyzing the data stored within an object and reallocating the data as necessary. More particularly, the system may efficiently reallocate data to new objects when the amount of live data within an object falls below a predetermined threshold.
