Abstract:
Techniques for deleting a snapshot of a data set archived in cloud/object storage are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system can identify data blocks that are part of the snapshot and are referred to by an incremental child snapshot of the snapshot. The computer system can further create a new metadata object that includes metadata entries for the identified data blocks, each metadata entry comprising an identifier of the incremental child snapshot, an identifier of a data block, and an identifier of a data object of the incremental child snapshot where the data block is stored. The computer system can then associate the new metadata object with the incremental child snapshot in the cloud/object storage.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4  wherein the restoring comprises:\n traversing up a hierarchy of snapshots needed to restore the data set from the incremental child snapshot; and \n for each snapshot in the hierarchy:\n if one or more metadata objects for the snapshot can be found in the cloud/object storage, incorporating the one or more snapshots into a metadata view for the data set; and \n if one or more metadata objects for the snapshot cannot be found in the cloud/object storage, returning to an immediate child snapshot of the snapshot in the hierarchy and examining the immediate child snapshot to identify any new metadata objects.
