Patent attributes
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program products for storing a snapshot of block-level changes in a data volume using a file system-level backup tool. An embodiment operates by receiving the block level changes in the snapshot from the data volume stored in an application in a cluster. The embodiment creates a root directory for the snapshot. The root directory may have one or more subdirectories. The embodiment maps one or more block changes in the data volume onto the one or more subdirectories and creates a manifest for identifying the snapshot in the file system-level backup tool. The manifest may be associated with the root directory. The embodiment then instructs the file system-level backup tool to store the snapshot by storing the root directory in content-addressable object storage based on the one or more subdirectories and storing the manifest in a manifest storage.
