Abstract

See full text

Various methods and systems for using adaptive data compression in a backup system are disclosed. One method involves detecting whether to compress a unit of storage that is to be backed up. The detecting involves attempting to compress a portion of the unit of storage. If the attempt to compress the portion of the unit of storage meets a specified compression performance threshold, i.e., if the unit of storage is compressible, the unit of storage is compressed. Otherwise the unit of storage is not compressed.
