US Patent 11874747 Stream optimized backup to cloud object store

A method and system for stream optimized backups to a cloud object store. When considering data protection, many prominent applications engage in backup operations by streaming their respective data to the cloud; however, the stream(s) is/are often ill-optimized (e.g., non-uniform data rates, non-uniform block sizes, different backup types, non-uniform data types or formats, etc.) to be written into cloud storage. The disclosed method and system, accordingly, propose a dynamic framework through which any arbitrary backup stream may be optimized according to the profile of any specific cloud-based object data store.
