Abstract
A method of identifying application metadata in a backup stream comprises finding a known application metadata signature within a backup stream. A source application of user data in the backup stream is identified based upon the known application metadata signature. Application metadata, which has been generated by the source application, is removed from consideration by a data de-duplicator which is used to perform data de-duplication on the backup stream.
