Unlike regular cache, which caches segments of blobs on a per-content basis, metadata cache will fetch and store the entire metadata blob (q) when any of the contents in it is accessed. Given that there are relatively few metadata blobs compared to data (p) blobs, this will reduce the traffic to the underlying store and improve performance of Snapshot GC which only relies on metadata contents.

Kopia is a simple, cross-platform tool for managing encrypted backups in the cloud. It provides fast, incremental backups, secure, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication.
Unlike other cloud backup solutions, the user is in full control of the backup storage and responsible for purchasing one of the cloud storage products (such as Google Cloud Storage), which offer great durability and availability for the data.
