Abstract
A computer-implemented method for prioritizing restoration speed with deduplicated backups may include (1) receiving a request to store a backup image within a deduplicating data system, (2) evaluating an amount of data segments that match the backup image within a container of deduplicated data segments, (3) identifying a restoration prioritization value that is assigned to the backup image and that correlates with a desired restoration speed for the backup image, (4) determining that the amount of data segments that match the backup image exceeds the restoration prioritization value by a predetermined degree, and (5) referencing previously stored data segments within the container of deduplicated data segments that match the backup image when storing the backup image based on the amount of data segments that match the backup image exceeding the restoration prioritization value by the predetermined degree. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
