Abstract

Segment sizes are controlled by setting the size of a segment boundary in a hash-based backup deduplication system in a distributed computing environment. A subsequence of size K of a sequence of characters S is set. Segment boundaries are set by using the sequence of the decreasingly restrictive logical tests if one of the sequence of the decreasingly restrictive logical tests returns a true value when applied on the sequence of characters S.
