Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a distributed, differential electronic-data backup and archiving system that includes client computers and cells. Client computers execute front-end-application components of the distributed, differential electronic-data backup and archiving system, the front-end application components receiving data objects from client computers and sending the received data objects to cells of the distributed, differential electronic-data backup and archiving system for storage. Cells within the distributed, differential electronic-data backup and archiving system store the data objects, each cell comprising at least one computer system with attached mass-storage and each cell storing entire data objects as lists that reference stored, unique data chunks within the cell, a cell storing all of the unique data chunks for all data objects stored in the cell.
