Abstract:
1. A deduplication system configured to determine deduplication block alignments within a data segment, the system comprising: one or more computer processors comprising computer hardware; a duplication module being executed by the one or more computer processors and configured to: a criteria adjustment module configured to select one or more second block alignment indicator values to replace the one or more first block alignment indicator values based at least in part on a determination that, for a threshold number of the iterative performances of the deduplication block alignment function, the output of the deduplication block alignment function performed on the data within the sliding window does not match any of the one or more first block alignment indicator values, wherein the one or more second block alignment indicator values are used instead of the one or more first block alignment indicator values for subsequent iterations of the deduplication block alignment function.
