Abstract
A method is used in managing deduplication of data in storage systems. A candidate data object is identified for deduplicating a data object by evaluating digests stored in a current digest segment to determine whether another digest matching a digest associated with the data block is stored in the current digest segment. The current digest segment includes a set of digests associated with a set of data blocks previously received for deduplication. Based on the evaluation, a deduplicating technique is applied to the data object. The current digest segment is stored in an index table. A previous digest segment associated with a digest stored in the index table matches the digest associated with the data block is replaced by the current digest segment.
