Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for performing selective deduplication in a storage system are introduced herein. Techniques are provided for determining deduplication priorities of data objects based upon projected likelihoods that deduplication of such data objects will provide a storage space benefit. Inline deduplication and/or post processing deduplication is selectively provided on an individual data object basis based upon deduplication priorities assigned to respective data objects.
