US Patent 11775396 Methods and systems for improved backup performance

Methods, computer program products, computer systems, and the like for improved performance, when backing up objects, are disclosed, which can include assigning a top-level entity to a backup host of a number of backup hosts and performing a backup operation on a number of objects. The objects are associated with the top-level entity. The backup operation is performed by the backup host. The backup operation includes determining whether one of the objects includes at least one new data segment or at least one modified data segment, and, in response to a determination that the object includes at least one new data segment or at least one modified data segment, writing information regarding the at least one new data segment or at least one modified data segment in a tracklog dedicated to the top-level entity.
