ABSTRACT:
Processes and apparatuses are provided for generating file correspondency between a source computer and a target computer. The process comprises determining a first source file key for at least a portion of the source file and searching for an existing file having at least a portion thereof represented by a first existing file key which matches the first source file key. If the first existing file key is located and if the portion of the existing file represented by the first existing file key is also disposed on the target computer, the file correspondency is generated by accessing the portion of the existing file represented by the first existing file key which is disposed on the target computer.
