Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for garbage collection for object-based storage systems. A first set of objects stored in a data object store is identified as not meeting criteria for deletion or archiving, the criteria specified in a retention policy. A second set of objects is identified by performing a search of the object data store for data objects belonging to a data structure with the first set of objects. The second set of objects is recorded as not meeting the criteria for deletion or archiving. The second set of data objects are retained, based on the recording, to prevent the data structure from being corrupted.
