Abstract
A computer-implemented method for deduplicating data is disclosed. The method may include identifying a request to transfer data from a client in a deduplication system to a server in the deduplication system. The method may also include determining, based at least in part on performance of the deduplication system, whether to deduplicate the data before transferring the data from the client to the server. The method may further include performing the following, the order of which is based on the determination: deduplicating the data and transferring the data from the client to the server. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
