Abstract:
Embodiments relate to efficiently replicating data from a source storage space to a target storage space. The storage spaces share a common namespace of paths where content units are stored. A shallow cache is maintained for the target storage space. Each entry in the cache includes a hash of a content unit in the target storage space and associated hierarchy paths in the target storage space where the corresponding content unit is stored. When a set of content units in the source storage space is to be replicated at the target storage space, any content unit with a hash in the cache is replicated from one of the associated paths in the cache, thus avoiding having to replicate content from the source storage space.

Claim (Index 1):
A method performed by a computing device comprising processing hardware and storage hardware, the method comprising:\n storing, in the storage hardware, a local data store comprised of local data items having respective unique storage paths where they are stored in the local data store; maintaining a shallow cache comprised of cache entries, each cache entry representing a respective local data item in the local data store, each cache entry comprising a hash of the correspondingly represented local data item and comprising a set of paths where respective copies of the local data item are stored in the local data store; determining to add a dataset from a remote device to the data store, the dataset represented by a manifest comprising a list of manifest entries, each manifest entry comprising a hash of a respective remote data item at the remote device and a set of paths where respective copies of the remote data item are stored on the remote device; based on determining to add the dataset from the remote device to the data store, adding the dataset by:\n for each manifest entry in the manifest, determining whether any cache entry contains the hash of the manifest entry; and \n when a cache entry is determined to contain a hash of a manifest entry, copying a local data item (i) from a path in the cache entry's set of paths (ii) to each of the paths in the manifest entry's set of paths.
