1. A data storage apparatus, comprising:

  • an interface, for communicating with a cloud-based object storage system having a built-in versioning mechanism that assigns version numbers to objects stored therein; and

    one or more processors, configured to receive data for storage from one or more workloads, to store the data as objects in the cloud-based object storage system, and to update and record reference counts for at least some of the objects, by forcing the built-in versioning mechanism of the cloud-based object storage system to update the version numbers so as to match the reference counts.
