    Abstract: A method of data management in a data storage system including a plurality of data storage units, the method includes dividing each file in the data storage system into a plurality of blocks having a common size. The method further includes generating a hash value for each block using a common hash algorithm. The method further includes identifying a plurality of similar files in different data storage units, based on a comparison of the hashes for each file. The method further includes copying one or more of the identified similar files, such that similar files are stored in a single data storage unit and for one or more of the copied files, generating a link to a new location of the file. The method provides an efficient, effective, and adequate reduction of the primary storage as well as the secondary storage space.
