Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to data archiving on storage medium such as magnetic tapes based on graph partitioning. One aspect of the invention concerns a method that comprises representing a file system as a graph where each node of the graph represents a file and each edge represents file chunks common to the files corresponding to the nodes connected by the edge. The graph is repeatedly partitioned into disjoint sub-graphs. If the files and duplicate file chunks associated with a sub-graph fit into a data storage medium, then the files and duplicate file chunks are stored in the medium. Otherwise, the method may partition the sub-graph into smaller disjoint sub-graphs taking into consideration of degrees of connectivity of the nodes.
