Virtual defragmentation in a deduplication vault. In one example embodiment, a method of virtual defragmentation in a deduplication vault includes a virtual defragmentation phase. The virtual defragmentation phase includes accessing file system metadata (FSM) blocks included in a backup of allocated blocks of a source storage and reordering block references in the FSM blocks to match the order of the corresponding blocks as stored in a deduplication vault storage.
