Abstract
One example method includes defining a physical namespace, determining a number of virtual namespaces, virtualizing the physical namespace by defining the virtual namespaces on the physical namespace, and generating a modified lookup key that is a function of a name of one of the virtual namespaces. The modified lookup key may be moved between virtual namespaces without requiring interruption of a backup or restore process, and without requiring an associated file system to be taken offline. Movement of the modified lookup key may be transparent to a user and may permit preservation of scripts that were in place prior to the move.
