Abstract

The invention relates to a method for deduplicating data stored on a storage medium, comprising the following steps: a) in the event of a request to store a data block on the storage medium, a check is carried out to determine whether a data block having identical content is already stored on the storage medium, b) if the check carried out in step a) indicates that a data block having identical content is already stored on the storage medium, the data block to be stored is not stored anew, but rather a reference to the already stored data block having identical content is stored on the storage medium, c) if the check carried out in step a) indicates that a data block having identical content is not yet stored on the storage medium, the storage block to be stored is stored on the storage medium. According to the invention, d) before the check to determine if a data block having identical content is already stored on the storage medium, a check is carried out to determine whether the data block to be stored completely or mainly comprises metadata, and e) if the data block to be stored completely or mainly comprises metadata, said data block is stored on the storage medium without carrying out the check to determine if a data block having identical content is already stored on the storage medium. The invention further relates to a file server, comprising a processor, an operating system executed on the processor, and a storage medium, which is managed by the processor by means of the operating system, wherein the file server is designed to a perform a method for deduplicating data stored on the storage medium.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for compressing a data sequence of a electronic document, particularly a partially compressed XML document, with the aid of a structure definition of the data sequence, especially a DTD, an XML scheme, a Relax NG Compact, or a Relax NG schema, the structure definition defining at least one partial structure of the data sequence. The data sequence encompasses values of constants, particularly text data, for representing document data as well as structural data of the data sequence, especially tags, which contain start symbols and terminal symbols for the constants and the partial structures of the data sequence from at least some of the constants and the structural data, including structural data that matches parts of the structure definition. The inventive method is characterized in that a) a first sequence of hash values which comprises the values of the constants of the data sequence or representatives, particularly indices, of said values, is generated from the data sequence, and b) a second sequence of hash values is generated from the data sequence by removing the values of the constants and all structural data that matches parts of the structure definition from the data sequence.
