Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and method for de-duplicating blocks of data. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises for each previously de-duplicated block of data of a de-duplication engine, storing de-duplicated pages references by hashes and a block descriptor, creating a set of hash components of the previously de-duplicated blocks, and for each newly received block of data for de-duplication, calculating a translation tolerant hash vector including a predetermined number of hash components, determining a similarity of the received block to the previously de-duplicated blocks based on a comparison of the hash components of the received block with the hash components in the set, and when the received block is determined as being similar to the previously processed blocks based on the comparison, storing the block without duplication in the de-duplication engine, including pages of the block referenced by hashes and a block descriptor.
