METHOD FOR MANAGING DATA STORED IN A STORING DEVICE HAVING A NETWORK INTERFACE

摘要

PURPOSE: A data managing method in a storage device with a network interface is provided to automatically move unnecessary data to network storage. CONSTITUTION: The existence of unnecessary data is checked(S111). When one or more pieces of unnecessary data exist, metadata for the data is obtained(S113). One or more pieces of unnecessary data are transmitted to a network storage device through a network interface(S115). The data is deleted after transmission to the network storage device(S117).
