Objects of an object set stored in an archive may be randomly accessed using the addresses of the objects stored in the archive. However, archives often fail to enable random access to the data within an object, without accessing other portions of the object, due to the variable compression of respective segments of the object. Random-access capabilities within the objects may be provided by segmenting the object into segments of a segment size, generating a block map specifying the block sizes of respective blocks corresponding to respective segments of the objects, and storing the block map in the archive as an object of the object set. Additionally, hashcodes may be calculated respective blocks and included in the block map in order to expose alterations of respective blocks, and/or to update an archive to an updated version of the archive by comparing the hashcodes and retrieving and substituting the updated blocks.
