Abstract

Example implementations relate to deduplication operations in a storage system. An example includes initiating a housekeeping job to delete a backup item stored in a deduplication storage system; identifying a set of container indexes affected by the housekeeping job, the set of container indexes including at least a first container index; in response to a determination that a housekeeping work map includes a first work entry associated with the first container index, determining an ingest count of new data units added to a first container during an ingest of the backup item into the deduplication storage system, the first container associated with the first container index; and adding the determined ingest count to the cumulative counter included in the first work entry associated with the first container index.
