Abstract
A method for removing redundant data from a backup storage system is presented. In one example, the method may include identifying a first back-up data object, identifying a second back-up data object, detecting a first portion of the first back-up data object that is a copy of a second portion of the second back-up data object, and replacing the second portion with a pointer to the first portion.
