Abstract
A method is used in managing deduplication density. A deduplication density of a data object is determined. The deduplication density is indicated by a number of deduplicated data objects represented by the data object. Based on the deduplication density of the data object, the data object is skipped for applying a deduplicating technique to the data object. An association is created between the data object and another data object. The other data object is used for applying the deduplicating technique where contents of the other data object are identical to contents of the data object.
