1. A storage system comprising:
a processor; and
a machine-readable storage storing instructions, the instructions executable by the processor to:
determine to generate a synthetic full backup based on data stream representations of a plurality of data streams;
in response to a determination to generate the synthetic full backup, create a logical group including the data stream representations;
specify a cache resource allocation for the logical group; and
generate the synthetic full backup from data stream representations using an amount of a cache resource limited by the cache resource allocation for the logical group.
