Evaluation of Efficient Archival Storage Techniques

The ever-increasing volume of archival data that need to be retained for long periods of time has motivated the design of low-cost, high-efficiency storage systems. Inter-file compression has been proposed as a technique to improve storage efficiency by exploiting the high degree of similarity among archival data. We evaluate the two main inter-file compression techniques, data chunking and del...
