Abstract
A system for dynamic file chunking is provided. The system includes a memory and a processor configured to access one or more files to be chunked for a data backup operation and to identify a type of the one or more files. The type of the file is based upon an extension of the respective file. The processor is configured to analyze storage data associated with each type of files corresponding to a plurality of chunking techniques. The processor is configured to associate each of files with a corresponding data chunk size and a chunking technique class based upon the analyzed storage data and to analyze data backup parameters in-real time during the data backup operation and to update at least one of the data chunk size and the chunking technique for each of the type of files based upon the data backup parameters.
