Abstract
An incremental backup agent performs backup operations that synchronize database on client side to a server database. In one embodiment, such backup operations are incremental backups, where the agent may identify differences between the current directory with the latest backed up version. The agent may issue a direct RPC using SMB protocols or NFS protocols to fetch all entries of directories with metadata in a single RPC call, instead of issuing one call to fetch metadata for each directory entry. The agent may identify changes with efficiency by performing checksum changes in a DFS manner. Starting from a root directory, the agent may generate a checksum for each directory and compare the checksums on the client side with the retrieved fingerprints, and if the backup agent identifies that the fingerprints match, the backup agent may then go to a deeper level and compare the fingerprints for child directories.
