13. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing apparatus, cause the processing apparatus to:
-
identify whether a deduplication data item to be stored in one of a plurality of remote object storage systems is of a deduplication metadata type or a chunk data type, based on a provided object name to be used for storing the data item as an object; when the data item is identified as being of the deduplication metadata type, select a first remote object storage systems of a plurality of remote object storage systems; when the data item is identified as being of the data chunk type, select a second remote object storage systems of the plurality of remote object storage systems; and instruct the selected remote object storage system to store the data item as an object with the provided object name. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
