Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to share data storage-related services between multiple deduplication systems. A determination is made as to whether a shared file that exists in a library of shared files corresponds to a local file. In response to a determination that the shared file exists in the library of shared files, the local file is virtually segmented into data segments, and local virtual mapping metadata is generated based, at least in part, on the data segments. The local virtual mapping metadata is then stored.
