Abstract

A computer system that includes a processor for operating a software application in the computer system. The software application provides for creation, storage, and retrieval of a file, the file having a corresponding profile that the software application uses for at least the purpose of preparing the software application to display the file upon its retrieval by the software application. Also included is a plurality of storage media that are communicatively coupled to the processor. A storage management module distributes stored files and their accompanying profiles among the plurality of storage media according to predetermined patterns. One of such predetermined patterns is separate storage of a file and the file's corresponding profile.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

at least one storage management module, wherein the at least one storage management module is configured to manage storage of application specific profiles and is configured to manage storage of corresponding files among multiple storage media,
wherein the at least one storage management module distributes the application specific profiles to storage locations, and
wherein the storage locations of the applications specific profiles are separate from the corresponding files;
a processor for operating a software application;
wherein the software application provides for storage and retrieval of the file and the corresponding application specific profile wherein the corresponding application specific profile is used by the software application for at least a purpose of preparing the software application to display the file upon its retrieval by the software application;
and,
wherein the at least one storage management module distributes stored files and corresponding profiles among the multiple storage media according to predetermined patterns, and
wherein at least one of the predetermined patterns includes storing of a file at a separate location from its corresponding application specific profile.
