Abstract
Reducing backup data by providing a data protection target for storing content data from clients running operating system and applications, and a common data protection target (CDPT) separate from the data protection target for storing Gold image data for the operating system and applications. Gold image data is stored by a user in a defined location or tagged with a defined tag. The stored or tagged Gold image data is identified by the backup software and copied to the CDPT. The identified Gold image data is cataloged. During backup, the CDPT is queried to determine if the Gold image exists, and if so, the DP target does not store the Gold image data in the DP target, but uses the reference to indicate the location of the Gold image data corresponding to the backed up content data. During a restore, the restore stream is built from the DP target and CDPT to combine user content data and Gold image data.
