USING METADATA TO MANAGE DATA AND REPORT USAGE

Abstract:

A data storage system can scan one or more information stores and analyze the metadata of files stored in the one or more information stores to identify secondary copy operations (e.g., archiving) that can be performed on the files. The storage system can also identify storage usage information of each file during the scan and use that information to generate reports regarding the usage of the storage.
