Abstract

This disclosure is describes a system and method for organizing and storing backup data by inode number. Data objects on a file system may be streamed to a backup client that identifies the inode numbers for each streamed data object before streaming the objects to storage. The inode numbers are parsed to create one or more inode directories that can be browsed during a recovery process. In this fashion, the file system can be quickly backed up without requiring the backup client to determine the file system's directory hierarchy.
