Abstract: Duplicates of immutable data objects are identified and deduplicated. This is performed by performing a bottom up deduplication, such that objects in hierarchically lower levels of a data structure are deduplicated first.

This process is repeated for hierarchically higher data objects, but where the value equality analysis includes, among other things, evaluating the equality of references to hierarchically lower data objects.

Abstract: Described is a deduplicated storage system that may perform a focused sanitization process by reducing the number of data storage containers that must be sanitized. The system leverages additional characteristics of the files that need to be sanitized such as an initial storage date (e.g. data breach date) of when a sensitive file (e.g. file to be sanitization) was actually stored on the deduplicated storage system. By maintaining a creation date of data containers, the system may limit sanitization to those containers having a creation date on or after the initial storage date of the sensitive file. Accordingly, the system is capable of performing a more focused overwriting of data thereby improving the overall efficiency of the sanitization process.
