Abstract

Embodiments for performing the inline deduplication by filtering streaming data as it is received by a backup client through a backup server executing a backup process. A data processing unit (DPU) is deployed to offload certain processing operations performed by a central processing unit (CPU) of the backup client. An inline deduplication operation comprises file operations, data segmentation, segment fingerprinting, compression, and encryption prior to storage in a backup target. The DPU is deployed and configured to perform the compression and encryption steps, the entire inline deduplication stack, or the entire inline deduplication stack plus the file system operations.
