Embodiment Construction

[0016] In the following description, numerous specific details are given in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known circuits, structures, signals, computer program instructions, and techniques have not been shown in detail in order to avoid obscuring the present invention.

[0017] see figure 1 , a generalized block diagram of one embodiment of an information life cycle 100 is shown. Information lifecycle 100 or simply lifecycle 100 illustrates the management of the flow of data and associated metadata for an information system from creation and initial storage to when the data becomes obsolete and is deleted. A data image may include one or more files in information, associated metadata, and associated storage arrangement information such as directories, folders, and subfolders. Data i...

Abstract

A system and method for defining a separate lifecycle policy for each of one or more data images. A backup server is configured to select a first point-in-time value, which indicates when to begin moving a data image from a first data storage medium to a second storage medium. The point-in-time value corresponds to a calendar date and an hour or hours of the day. The backup server is configured to continue selecting a respective point-in-time value for each data storage medium within a tiered storage hierarchy in order to define the lifecycle policy. The backup server may be further configured to delete a copy of the data image on a source data storage medium when completion of a move of the data image to a destination data storage medium is detected. Further, the backup server may detect scheduling conflicts between two or more lifecycle policies.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer processing, and more particularly to defining time-based lifecycle policies for data mirroring. Background technique [0002] As computer memory storage capacity and data bandwidth increase, so does the volume and complexity of data that is managed on a daily basis in business and industry. Much of the data that can be managed in an enterprise includes content managed for a company or workgroup. Such information may include electronic documents, announcements, tasks, discussion topics, and the like. Depending on the commercial value of the information, access to some information may be secure and private, while other information may have broader or even public access. [0003] Because different instances of stored data may often contain important information, the contents of the information server and end-user systems can be backed up to backup storage to prevent data loss. In this case, the ded...
