SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLASSIFYING AND TRANSFERRING INFORMATION IN A STORAGE NETWORK

摘要

Systems and methods for data classification to facilitate and improve data
management
within an enterprise are described. The disclosed systems and methods evaluate
and define
data management operations based on data characteristics rather than data
location, among
other things. Also provided are methods for generating a data structure of
metadata that
describes system data and storage operations. This data structure may be
consulted to
determine changes in system data rather than scanning the data files
themselves.
