Abstract

See full text

A policy-based retention manager provides protection and management of files in a WORM file volume. The protection of the files is accomplished by the manager establishing a volume retention period for securely storing the files within the WORM file volume on a WORM media (e.g., a WORM disk media) based on a file retention end date of each file within the WORM file volume, and securely storing the WORM file volume on the WORM media during the volume retention period. The management of the files is accomplished by the manager establishing a volume reclamation period for reclaiming unexpired files within the WORM file volume prior to an expiration of the volume retention period, and reclaiming each unexpired file within the WORM file volume from the WORM media during the volume reclamation period.
