Autonomous deduplication for efficient recovery for a deduplication system

摘要

A method to partition a deduplication pool is provided. The method includes determining that an amount of data in a plurality of data containers of the deduplication pool has reached a data capacity threshold and comparing each data container of the plurality of data containers with at least one other of the plurality of data containers as to amount of shared data. The method includes grouping, based on results of the comparing, the plurality of data containers into a plurality of groups of data containers, with data sharing from each of the plurality of groups of data containers to each other of the plurality of groups of data containers less than a data sharing threshold and data sharing inside each of the plurality of groups of data containers greater than the data sharing threshold.

1. A method to partition a deduplication pool, the method comprising:
determining that an amount of data in a plurality of data containers of the deduplication pool has reached a data capacity threshold; comparing each data container of the plurality of data containers with at least one other of the plurality of data containers as to amount of shared data; and grouping, based on results of the comparing, the plurality of data containers into a plurality of groups of data containers, with at least two data containers in each group having an amount of data segments referenced by a set of backup images or files greater than or equal to a data sharing threshold, and a further at least two data containers in differing groups having an amount of data segments referenced by a further set of backup images or files less than the data sharing threshold, wherein at least one method operation is executed through a processor.
