Abstract:

A method of storing data, comprises extracting data from a first storage of a storage system; containerizing the data to form a container image, the container image being self-contained and configured to be moved and stored as a unit; and storing the container image in at least one second storage different from the first storage. The data may be deduplicated data and containerizing may be by an OCI-compliant process, such as Dockerizing. A system and a non-transitory storage medium are also disclosed. A method of storing data also comprises receiving, by a storage system, a container image, the container image being self-contained and including metadata and a data file containing data. The container image is configured to be moved and stored as a unit and is received from a second system separate from the storage system, via a network. The container image is stored by the storage system.
