  • File handling in a hierarchical storage system
    Patent number: 10891266
    Abstract: A user virtual file system within a hierarchical storage system performs file handling.

The user virtual file system identifies logical or temporal relationships of files based on the at least one rule or the metadata. The user virtual file system groups identified related files in the at least one container. The user virtual file system moves the at least one container to different tiers of storage based on the at least one rule or the metadata.
