Abstract
Responsibility for protecting a distributed file system is split across different client hosts. Each client host is assigned a subset of the distributed file system to backup. An index host is identified to create a common namespace under which different client file indexes generated by the different client hosts during backups of respective subsets of the file system will be maintained. During backups, different client file indexes are received from the different client hosts. The client file indexes include metadata about files in the file system included in the backups. Each of the different client file indexes are associated to the same common namespace to provide a unified view of all files across all subsets of the file system that have been backed up by the different client hosts.
