Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for deduplicating archive objects, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising: tagging, using an e-discovery service, archive objects to indicate data related to the archive objects; assigning an archive object and an additional archive object to be processed by a deduplication engine; determining a degree of overlap between the archive object and the additional archive object by determining a number of e-discovery tags that the archive object and the additional archive object share in common; adjusting, using the deduplication engine, deduplication between the archive object and the additional archive object using the degree of overlap determined to exist between the archive object and the additional archive object by prioritizing deduplication between the archive object and the additional archive object over deduplication between members of a different set of archive objects.
