Abstract
A computer-implemented method for increasing restore speeds of backups stored in deduplicated storage systems may include (1) identifying a backup that includes data stored in at least one data container within a deduplicated storage system, (2) detecting a subsequent backup that includes additional data, (3) calculating an amount of duplication between the additional data included in the subsequent backup and the data stored in the data container, (4) determining that the amount of duplication between the additional data and the data stored in the data container is below a predetermined threshold, (5) identifying at least one additional data container to store the additional data instead of deduplicating the additional data with respect to the data container, and then (6) storing the additional data in the additional data container to facilitate increasing a restore speed of the subsequent backup. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
