Abstract
In one example, a method for processing data includes receiving information that identifies an ad-hoc group of size 'n' of files F. . . F, each file F including a respective segment set S, and then sampling a representation of each unique segment in the segment set S to obtain a sampled unique segment count for each file F. A unique segment count is then obtained for each file F by applying a sampling ratio R to each sampled unique segment count, and an average segment size for each file F is determined. Next, a physical space measurement is generated for each file F based on the average segment size and the unique segment count, and then a total physical space measurement p is generated based on the individual physical space measurements for each file F.
