  • Systems and methods for classifying files as candidates for deduplication
    Patent number: 9146935
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include identifying at least one file and detecting an event that is suggestive of at least a portion of the file being duplicated in at least one additional file. The computer-implemented method may also include classifying the file as a candidate for deduplication in response to detecting the event. The computer-implemented method may further include maintaining the file's candidate-for-deduplication classification for use in prompting a determination on whether the portion of the file is already stored within a storage device.
    Type: Grant
