Abstract
Described is a system (and method) that maintains deduplication efficiency when storing data within a clustered data storage environment that implements a global namespace. To provide such a capability, the system may obtain granular data source identifying information from a client system that provides data to be backed-up by a backup component. The data source identifying information may take the form of a placement tag that is associated with the received data. The backup component may then provide such placement tags when providing the backup data to the clustered storage system. The placement tags may then be used to intelligently distribute backup files to particular storage nodes of the clustered storage system to improve deduplication efficiency.
