Abstract
A system for storing compressed data comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive a compressed segment. The compressed segment is determined by breaking a data stream, a data block, or a data file into one or more segments and compressing each of the one or more segments. The processor is further configured to determine whether the compressed segment has been previously stored, and in the event that the compressed segment has not been previously stored, store the compressed segment. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
