Systems and methods for increasing restore speeds of backups stored in deduplicated storage systems

A system for increasing restore speeds of backups stored in deduplicated storage systems, the system comprising:

• an identification module programmed to identify a backup that comprises data stored in at least one data container within a deduplicated storage system;
• a detection module programmed to detect a subsequent backup that comprises additional data that is identical to at least a portion of the data stored in the data container;
• a calculation module programmed to calculate an amount of duplication between the additional data included in the subsequent backup and the data stored in the data container;
• a determination module programmed to determine that the amount of duplication between the additional data included in the subsequent backup and the data stored in the data container is below a predetermined threshold, wherein the amount of duplication represents the amount of data stored in the data container that is identical to the additional data included in the subsequent backup relative to the total amount of data stored in the data container;
• wherein the identification module is further programmed to identify an additional data container within the deduplicated storage system to store the additional data included in the subsequent backup in response to the determination that the amount of duplication is below the predetermined threshold;
• a storage module programmed to store the additional data in the additional data container within the deduplicated storage system to facilitate increasing a restore speed of the subsequent backup;
• at least one processor configured to execute the identification module, the detection module, the calculation module, the determination module, and the storage module.

A non-transitory computer-readable-storage medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• identify a backup that comprises data stored in at least one data container within a deduplicated storage system;
• detect a subsequent backup that comprises additional data that is identical to at least a portion of the data stored in the data container;
• calculate an amount of duplication between the additional data included in the subsequent backup and the data stored in the data container;
• determine that the amount of duplication between the additional data included in the subsequent backup and the data stored in the data container is below a predetermined threshold, wherein the amount of duplication represents the amount of data stored in the data container that is identical to the additional data included in the subsequent backup relative to the total amount of data stored in the data container;
• in response to determining that the amount of duplication is below the predetermined threshold:
• identify an additional data container within the deduplicated storage system to store the additional data included in the subsequent backup instead of deduplicating the additional data with respect to the data stored in the data container;
• store the additional data in the additional data container within the deduplicated storage system to facilitate increasing a restore speed of the subsequent backup.
