1. A system comprising:
a data collection subsystem communicatively coupled to at least one networked device via a network, said data collection subsystem being configured to:
receive a data collection request that includes a custodian identifier and a data content identifier, the custodian identifier being associated with at least one user,identify a networked device based on the custodian identifier by utilizing a mapping directory that maps the custodian identifier to at least one network resource associated with the at least one networked device,instruct the identified networked device to search for data using the data content identifier, andautomatically collect an unaltered replication of the identified data from the identified networked device via the network, said unaltered replication of the data being encapsulated and transmitted from the at least one networked device to said data collection subsystem via the network;wherein said data collection subsystem is configured to automatically collect said unaltered replication of the data by:generating a collection object based on said data collection request; anddropping said collection object on the identified networked device, said collection object being configured to direct the identified networked device to:
scan at least a portion of the identified networked device for the data,encapsulate said unaltered replication of the data, andtransmit said encapsulated data to said data collection subsystem; and wherein said collection object is further configured to direct the identified networked device to:
generate a collection log including information descriptive of events associated with said automatic collection of said unaltered replication of the data, wherein said information included in said collection log includes first metadata associated with the data on the networked device and second metadata associated with said unaltered replication of the data; andtransmit said collection log to said data collection subsystem. |
