The invention relates to a data processing system, comprising at least two disk emulators operating in parallel and emulating a disk subsystem each, the disk emulators each using a file in a file system for any data stored on the respective disk, a separate de-duplicator for de-duplicating the data stored in the files, the de-duplicator operating in parallel to the disk emulators, the de-duplicator further using an additional disk emulator emulating an additional disk subsystem by using an additional file in a file system for storing data shared between the other disk subsystems. |
