Abstract
Containers that store data objects that were written to those containers during a particular backup are accessed. Then, a subset of the containers is identified; the containers in the subset have less than a threshold number of data objects associated with the particular backup. Data objects that are in containers in that subset and that are associated with the backup are copied to one or more other containers. Those other containers are subsequently used to restore data objects associated with the backup.
