Abstract
The invention relates generally to archiving data items in an information store. More particularly, the invention provides a computerized method for identifying, in a first information store, a first data item satisfying retention criteria; copying the first data item to a second information store; creating, in the first information store, a second data item containing a subset of the data of the first data item selected based on the data type of the first data item; and replacing the first data item, in the first information store, with the second data item.
Claims25
A computerized method for archiving data, the method comprising:
- identifying, in a first information store, a first data item satisfying a retention criterion;
- copying the first data item from the first information store to a second information store;
- creating, in the first information store, a second data item containing a subset of the data of the first data item selected based on the data type of the first data item;
- and
- replacing the first data item, in the first information store, with the second data item.
A system for archiving data, the system comprising:
- a first information store containing one or more data items;
- a second information store;
- and
- a computer, connectable to the first information store and the second information store;
- wherein the computer is programmed to identify, in the first information store, a first data item satisfying a retention criteria;
- to copy the first data item to the second information store;
- to create, in the first information store, a second data item containing a subset of the data of the first data item selected based on the data type of the first data item;
- and to replace the first data item from the first information store.
A computer usable medium storing program code which, when executed on a computerized device, causes the computerized device to execute a computerized method for archiving data, the method comprising:
- identifying, in a first information store, a first data item satisfying a retention criterion;
- copying the first data item from the first information store to a second information store;
- creating, in the first information store, a second data item containing a subset of the data of the first data item selected based on the data type of the first data item;
- and
- replacing the first data item, in the first information store, with the second data item.
A system for archiving data comprising:
- a plurality of application-specific data agents each configured to coordinate archiving of first data items used in a particular software application;
- and
- a plurality of application-specific stubbing modules each functionally integrated with a corresponding application-specific data agent, each stubbing module being configured to replace a first data item used in the corresponding software application with a second data item used in the corresponding software application and representing a subset of the first data item.
