摘要： Various embodiments for managing data in a data deduplication repository in a computing storage environment, by a processor device, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises issuing an application programming interface (API) command to scan metadata of a subset of entities in a local deduplication repository for identifying candidate data to offload from the local deduplication repository to an object storage, offloading the candidate data to the object storage, and returning a status result using the API command.

摘要： Various embodiments for managing data in a data deduplication repository in a computing storage environment, by a processor device, are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises migrating certain deduplication repository data from a host to an object storage by integrating a data offload process with an existing backup management application, for reducing unnecessary deduplication repository data stored on the host.
