Systems and methods for copying database files

摘要

A computer-implemented method for copying database files may include (1) identifying a request to copy a database file to a target location, and in response to identifying the request to copy the database file to the target location, (2) identifying a preallocated but unused portion of the database file, (3) transmitting a used portion of the database file to the target location, and (4) transmitting a metadata representation of the unused portion of the database file to the target location, the metadata representation being smaller than the unused portion. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for copying database files, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
identifying a request to copy a database file to a target location; in response to identifying the request to copy the database file to the target location: identifying a preallocated but unused portion of the database file; transmitting a used portion of the database file to the target location; transmitting a metadata representation of the unused portion of the database file to the target location, the metadata representation being smaller than the unused portion.
