STORING CHUNKS IN CONTAINERS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- storing, in a system having a processor, chunks in a first container of a data store, wherein the chunks are produced by dividing input data as part of a deduplication process,determining, by the system, whether a size of the first container has reached a predefined size threshold; and
in response to determining that the size of the first container has reached the predefined size threshold, moving at least one of the chunks in the first container to a second container.

Abstract
Chunks are stored in a container of a data store, where the chunks are produced by dividing input data as part of a deduplication process. In response to determining that the size of the container has reached a predefined size threshold, at least one of the chunks in the container is moved to another container.

13. A computer system comprising:
-
a storage media to store a data store having containers of chunks; and at least one processor to; receive input data; divide the input data into chunks as part of a deduplication process; determine which of the input data chunks correspond to chunks already present in the data store, and which of the input data chunks are new; in response to identifying a new input data chunk, store the new input data chunk into one of the containers according to a neighbor condition; and in response to determining that a size of a particular one of the containers has reached a predefined size threshold, moving at least one chunk from the particular container to another container. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An article comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a computer system to:
-
store chunks in a first container of a data store, wherein the chunks are produced by dividing input data as part of a deduplication process, determine whether a size of the first container has reached a predefined size threshold; and in response to determining that the size of the first container has reached the predefined size threshold, move at least one of the chunks in the first container to a second container. - View Dependent Claims (20)
