<p>A method and system for deduplication of data to be stored on a storage system. A deduplication system performs a method that includes the steps of: segmenting a storage object into a plurality of data segments; generating a content similarity key indicative of a content of a data segment as well as associating a physical position on the storage medium for the data segment with the generated content similarity key; storing the association in deduplication index information; and using the stored associations for optimizing the deduplication.</p> |
