There is a lot of interest in the data storage and backup systems according to increasing the data intensive services and related user's data. The overhead of backup performance in massive storage system is a critical issue because the traditional incremental backup strategies causes the time consuming bottleneck in the SAN environment. The SANique Smart Vault system is a high performance backup solution with data de-duplication technology and it guarantees these requirements. In this paper, we describe the architecture of SANique Smart Vault system and illustrate efficient delta incremental backup method based on journaling files. We also present the record-level data de-duplication method in our proposed backup system. The proposed forever incremental backup and data de-duplication algorithms are analyzed and investigated by performance evaluation of other commercial backup solutions.
