The present invention provides systems and methods for data storage. A hierarchical storage management architecture is presented to facilitate data management. The disclosed system provides methods for evaluating the state of stored data relative to enterprise needs by using weighted parameters that may be user defined. Also disclosed are systems and methods evaluating costing and risk management associated with stored data.

Disclosed herein are systems and method for backing up data in a load-balanced clustered environment. A clustered resource to be backed up is selected, wherein the clustered resource is stored on a common storage system and operated on by a cluster-aware application executing on at least a first node and a second node of a computing cluster. A load-balanced application may migrate the clustered resource from the first node with a high-load consumption to the second node with low-load consumption. A list of changes made by both nodes are received and merged. A backup agent then generates a consistent incremental backup using data retrieved from the common storage system according to the merged list of changes to the clustered resource.

Systems and methods for managing electronic data are disclosed. Various data management operations can be performed based on a metabase formed from metadata. Such metadata can be identified from an index of data interactions generated by a journaling module, and obtained from their associated data objects stored in one or more storage devices. In various embodiments, such processing of the index and storing of the metadata can facilitate, for example, enhanced data management operations, enhanced data identification operations, enhanced storage operations, data classification for organizing and storing the metadata, cataloging of metadata for the stored metadata, and/or user interfaces for managing data. In various embodiments, the metabase can be configured in different ways. For example, the metabase can be stored separately from the data objects so as to allow obtaining of information about the data objects without accessing the data objects or a data structure used by a file system.

Disclosed herein are systems and method for backing up data in a clustered environment. A clustered resource to be backed up is selected, wherein the clustered resource is stored on a common storage system and operated on by a cluster-aware application executing on two or more nodes of a computing cluster. A first backup agent executing on a first node of the computing cluster may determine a list of changes to the clustered resource and may receive at least one list of changes to the clustered resource that are tracked by peer backup agents executing on other nodes of the computing cluster. The first backup agent may merge the lists of changes to the clustered resource, and may generate a consistent incremental backup using data retrieved from the common storage system according to the merged lists of changes to the clustered resource.

A copy procedure detects qualified data objects in a body of source data, and copies the source data to a target storage unit except for unqualified data objects, which are replaced with a prescribed bit pattern. Following completion of the backup, a record is prepared indicating that all data objects exist in the specified target storage, regardless of whether each data object was replaced with a predetermined bit pattern rather than being physically written to the specified target storage. This process may, be repeated in order to perform data reclamation, effectively removing user files no longer qualifying for backup.

A system, method and computer readable medium for providing translated web content is disclosed. The method on an information processing system includes retrieving a first content in a first language and parsing the first content into a plurality of translatable components. The method further includes generating a unique identifier for each of the plurality of translatable components of the first content and queuing the plurality of translatable components and corresponding unique identifiers for translation into a second language. The method further includes, for each of the plurality of translatable components, storing a translated component and an associated unique identifier corresponding to the translatable component, thereby storing a plurality of translated components and corresponding unique identifiers.

A system and method for tracking information in a business environment. The system uses a tree-view hierarchy whereby alerts and time triggers are set by the user and upon the triggering of an event, the visual attributes of the tree-view folders change to reflect the triggering event.
