1. A method for use in selecting iteration schemes for deduplication, the method comprising:
- selecting a deduplication iteration scheme from a list of deduplication iteration schemes, wherein the deduplication iteration scheme indicates a pattern in which sets of data are iterated for applying a deduplicating technique to the sets of data, wherein the deduplication iteration scheme is selected based on a set of criteria;
based on the selection, iterating through the sets of data using the deduplication iteration scheme;
based on the iteration, applying the deduplicating technique to the sets of data; and
based on the results of applying the deduplicating technique, selecting another deduplication iteration scheme from the list of deduplication iteration scheme for the next iteration of the sets of data.

Abstract
A method is used in selecting iteration schemes for deduplication. An iteration scheme is selected. Based on the selection, sets of data are iterated. Based on the iteration, a deduplicating technique is applied to the sets of data. Based on the results of applying the deduplicating technique, the iteration scheme is changed. Based on an evaluation of a set of criteria, the iteration scheme is changed.
