Abstract
Avoiding compression of high-entropy data during creation of a backup of a source storage. In one example embodiment, a method for avoiding compression of high-entropy data during creation of a backup of a source storage may include, during creation of a backup of a source storage, determining a compression ratio for a file in the source storage with the file having a file type, determining whether the compression ratio is less than a compression threshold, and in response to determining that the compression ratio is less than the compression threshold, automatically designating the file type of the file as a high-entropy file type and automatically avoiding compression of a second file in the source storage having the file type.
