Abstract
An archival job is assessed to calculate loss of data reduction efficiency due to block-level data deduplication. Archivable data, or individual storage objects or data structures therein, are moved to archival storage contingent upon satisfaction of a predetermined condition related to data reduction efficiency. Archivable data, or individual storage objects or data structures therein, that fail to satisfy the predetermined condition are maintained in primary storage. The loss of data reduction efficiency and the predetermined condition may be expressed as a percentage of maximum possible data reduction that would result in the absence of data deduplication.
