Abstract
In one example, a method managing data includes transmitting backup format information to a storage platform, breaking data targeted for backup into data pieces, computing a unique fingerprint for each of the data pieces, and transmitting metadata concerning the data pieces to the storage platform, where the metadata includes the fingerprints. The method further includes receiving from the storage platform a list of any new fingerprints that do not correspond to any of the data pieces, and grouping data pieces together to form a jumbo data piece, where the data pieces that form the jumbo data piece are data pieces to which the new fingerprints correspond.
