Abstract

De-duplicating backup files based on data evolution is described. A system determines that a first backup file is created for a first data object, determines that the first data object is based on a second data object, and de-duplicates the first backup file based on a second backup file that was created for the second data object. The system determines that a third backup file is created for a third data object, determines that the third data object is based on the second data object, and de-duplicates the third backup file based on the second backup file that was created for the second data object.
