Abstract
Apparatus and methods for reducing compression and decompression time in a computer system that selectively compresses only the data space of a storage medium 16 used for data storage without having access to internal data structures of the operating system or file system. The present invention reduces the compression and decompression time of a given data storage medium in the computer system. Compression and decompression algorithms selectively exclude a portion of the storage medium that it marks as unused space. This reduces the total time that is needed to compress and decompress the data on a storage medium that has both usable and unused data on the storage medium.
