Abstract
Techniques for de-duplicating data involve: determining a target physical block in a first storage device. The techniques further involve: determining a compression ratio of a target data block in a plurality of data blocks to be transferred. The techniques further involve: determining a target hash value of the target data block in response to the compression ratio being lower than a threshold compression ratio. The techniques further involve: determining a de-duplication operation for the target data block based on the target hash value and a de-duplication hash table, the de-duplication hash table storing hash values of data blocks that have been transferred from the first storage device to the second storage device. Accordingly, the amount of data that needs to be transferred can be reduced, and the storage space of the storage devices can be improved, thus increasing the resource utilization and improving the user experience.
