A system and method for real time data migration in a networked computer system (1) uses a known operating system feature, a sparse file (4C), to represent a migrated file. The sparse file consumes a minimum amount of physical space on the file server (10) but is defined as having the same size and attributes as the original file. When a user accesses a migrated file, the file appears to be resident on the file server and is automatically and transparently returned to the file server from an optimized storage location in a hierarchical storage management system (20, 30). |
