Abstract
A method of replicating a deduplicated storage system is disclosed. The method comprises storing a stream of data on an originator deduplicating system by storing deduplicated segments and information on how to reconstruct the stream of data. The method further comprises replicating the originator deduplicating system by receiving a copy of the deduplicated segments, information regarding containers for the deduplicated segments, and information on how to reconstruct the stream of data transferred from the originator deduplicating system to the replica system.
