Patent Images
1. A method of attaching user storage to a central storage management system, the method comprising:
- receiving a first request to attach a first cloud-based user storage to the central storage management system;
receiving a second request to attach a second cloud-based user storage to the central storage management system;
accessing the first and second cloud-based user storages and determining, respectively, first and second sets of objects stored therein; and
for each object in the first and second sets of objects, storing corresponding metadata in the central storage management system, wherein the metadata indicates the cloud-based user storage at which the corresponding object is stored.

Abstract
User storage is attached to a central storage management system when the central storage management system receives a request to attach a cloud-based user storage thereto. The central storage management system accesses the cloud-based user storage and determines a set of objects stored therein. For each object in the set of objects, the storage management system stores corresponding metadata therein.
