Abstract: Various systems and methods for migrating data between deduplication systems. For example, one method involves receiving a fingerprint, where the fingerprint is received from a source computing device at a destination computing device, and the fingerprint is associated with a data segment stored at the source computing device. The method also involves identifying a fingerprint type associated with the fingerprint. The method also involves performing a migration operation from the source computing device to the destination computing device. The migration operation involves determining whether the fingerprint is stored in a fingerprint sub-index. The migration operation also involves determining whether a second fingerprint that corresponds to the data segment is stored in a second sub-index, where the second fingerprint is of a second fingerprint type.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for deduplicating archive objects may include (1) tagging, using an archiving service, archive objects to indicate data related to the archive objects, (2) assigning an archive object and an additional archive object to be processed by a deduplication engine, (3) determining a degree of overlap between the archive object and the additional archive object based on tags assigned to the archive object and the additional archive object by the archiving service, and (4) adjusting, using the deduplication engine, deduplication between the archive object and the additional archive object using the degree of overlap determined to exist between the archive object and the additional archive object based on the tags assigned by the archiving service. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing an inline deduplication module is described. Congestion information is collected about a level of congestion on a network that communicates with an inline deduplication module. An instruction is sent to the inline deduplication module to adjust a deduplication rate based at least in part on the congestion information.
