    Abstract: Remote storage management using linked directory objects that are persisted in one of a plurality of remote storages. A first directory object is generated to record addresses of a plurality of fragments of data, relational to identifiers of the plurality of fragments of data. In response to determining that an address of at least one of the plurality of fragments is changed, a second directory object is generated to record a changed address of the at least one fragment. An address of the second directory object is then recorded in the first directory object, associating the address of the second directory object with the previous address of the at least one fragment stored in the first directory object.
