Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for a block-based backing up a storage device to an object storage service is provided. This includes the generation of a data object that encapsulates a data of a data extent. The data extent covers a block address range of the storage device. The data object is named with a base name that represents a logical block address (LBA) of the data extent. The base name is appended with an identifier that deterministically identifies a recovery point that the data object is associated with. The base name combined with the identifier represents a data object name for the data object. The named data object is then transmitted to the object storage service for backup of the data extent. At an initial backup, the full storage device is copied. In incremental backups afterwards, only those data extents that changed are backed up.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于基于块的备份存储设备到对象存储服务的系统，方法和计算机程序产品。 这包括生成封装数据范围数据的数据对象。 数据范围涵盖存储设备的块地址范围。 数据对象以表示数据范围的逻辑块地址（LBA）的基本名称命名。 附加了一个标识符，该标识符确定性地标识数据对象关联的恢复点。 与标识符组合的基本名称表示数据对象的数据对象名称。 然后将命名的数据对象发送到对象存储服务以备份数据扩展。 在初始备份时，将复制完整的存储设备。 然后在增量备份中，仅备份更改的那些数据扩展区。
