Abstract
A method is used in managing copying of data in storage systems. A request is received to copy a portion of a source logical object to a target logical object. The source and target logical objects are subject to a deduplicating technique. The portion of the source logical object is copied to the target logical object by updating metadata of the target logical object. The target logical object shares the portion of the source logical object.
