Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and method for performing a backup operation to backup a volume formatted according to a particular file system to an online server computer system are disclosed. Backing up the volume may include backing up both the data files and the file system metadata of the volume. Various techniques may be utilized to avoid duplication of data on the server computer system and reduce the amount of data transmitted over the network. The backup information created on the server computer system may be useable to perform a complete restore of the volume on the client computer system, e.g., in the event of a storage device failure on the client computer system.
