Abstract

During a current backup of a file system of a client, a determination is that a file in the current backup includes first data regions found in a file from a previous backup, and second data regions that are new. A virtual synthetic file is generated by writing the second data regions, and synthesizing the first data regions by referencing the file from the previous backup. A request received to restore the particular file includes identifications of other files still present at client. A determination is that the particular file corresponds to the virtual synthetic file and that the other files still present at client include the file from the previous backup. The second data regions are read to send to client. A complete version of the particular file is assembled at client using the file from the previous backup, still present at client, and the second data regions.
