Abstract
A request for one or more files is received. It is determined that the requested one or more files have been archived at an archival storage tier. Access to a first portion of the one or more requested files stored at the archival storage tier is requested. Access is provided to the first portion in response to the request. Based at least in part on a metric associated with a utilization of the first portion, it is determined when to request access to a second portion of the one or more requested files stored at the archival storage tier.
