One example method includes receiving at a dedupe system, from a client, a request that comprises a set of fingerprints, where each fingerprint in the set corresponds to a particular data segment, filtering, at the dedupe system, the set of fingerprints into a set of unique fingerprints and a set of non-unique fingerprints, reading, at the dedupe system, from a container where copies of the non-unique fingerprints are stored, an additional set of non-unique fingerprints, sending, from the dedupe system to the client, a single response that comprises both the set of unique fingerprints and the additional set of non-unique fingerprints, and receiving from the client, at the dedupe system, data segments that respectively correspond to the unique fingerprints in the set of unique fingerprints, but no data segments corresponding to the non-unique fingerprints in the set of non-unique fingerprints are received by the dedupe system from the client.
