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 8):
A computing device comprising:\n processing hardware configured to interoperate with storage hardware; the storage hardware, the storage hardware storing instructions configured to, when executed by the processing hardware, cause the computing device to perform a process comprising:\n providing a content-addressable storage that stores a hierarchy of files, each file stored at a respective unique path in the hierarchy of files, wherein instances of same files are stored at different respective unique paths in the hierarchy of files; \n maintaining a shallow cache comprised of hashes of files in the hierarchy of files, the shallow cache further comprised of path lists associated with the hashes, respectively, each path list associated with a respective hash comprising a list of one or more paths in the hierarchy of files storing one or more respective instances of the file corresponding to the hash, wherein at least some of the path lists comprise multiple paths; and \n adding files to respective new paths in the content-addressable storage by, each time a file is to be added to one or more new paths in the content-addressable storage, determining if a hash of the file is present in the shallow cache, wherein when a file's hash is determined to be present in the shallow cache the file is copied from a path in the corresponding path list to each of the corresponding new paths.
