ABSTRACT:
A backup volume on a backup system is created/updated by reading data stored on a host volume on a host system. A data profile for the host volume is generated based on the read data, where the data profile characterizes the data stored on the host volume. The data profile is sent to the backup system, and data that does not need to be obtained from the host system is determined on the backup system based on the data profile.
