A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928030B2) outlines a method for creating deduplicated copies of data objects efficiently. The method involves receiving a copy of the data objects, deduplicating the copy by hashing segments to generate fingerprints, comparing these fingerprints to those in deduplication storage to identify matching segments, and creating a list of identifiers for these segments. Subsequently, a deduplicated backup copy is created without reassembling the original copy, utilizing a second list of identifiers and a catalog mapping each entry to its respective data object. This innovative approach streamlines the backup process and minimizes storage requirements by avoiding redundant data storage.

The patent also covers the implementation of this method on non-transitory computer-readable media and computer systems. The computer-readable media contain executable instructions for creating deduplicated copies of data objects, while the computer system comprises processors, storage medium, and instructions for executing the deduplication process efficiently. By reassembling the copy using segments from deduplication storage, the method ensures data integrity and facilitates replication to storage devices. The use of customized scripts on production servers for receiving data objects and storing identifiers in different formats further enhances the efficiency and adaptability of this deduplication technique, making it a valuable innovation in data management and storage technology.
