    摘要: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving, by a computer, a data access request; sending, by the computer, a recall request to a remote storage location for data which corresponds to the data access request; and receiving, by the computer, a copy of an existing object which includes blocks. The data which corresponds to the data access request is stored in at least one of the blocks. The data access request is satisfied, by the computer, by providing the copy of the existing object. Moreover, a sparse object, which only includes ones of the blocks which contain data that has been modified, is received by the computer. The sparse object is sent, by the computer, to the remote storage location; and one or more instructions to use the blocks included in the sparse object to update the existing object are also sent by the computer.
