Abstract: Provided is a system and program for automatically handling an error when retrieving a file for an application. An error is detected while the application retrieves a file from the storage device. A user defined policy is checked to determine whether a backup copy should be restored, and the file is restored from the backup copy if the user defined policy indicates that the backup copy should be used.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus and software can provide the capability of grouping related files together so as to optimize placement of the files on the physical media. Consequently, certain system operations (e.g., backup, defragmentation and the like) can be performed on the group of files, as opposed to a single file or the entire filesystem.

Abstract: Provided is a system, method, and program for maintaining a backup copy of files in a primary storage device in a backup storage device. The files in the primary storage device are capable of being restored from the backup copy of the files in the backup storage device. An association of one of a plurality of priority values is maintained for each file in the backup copy in the backup storage device. The priority value associated with each file in the backup copy of the files is used to determine the order in which the files in the backup copy are restored from the backup storage device to the primary storage device.

Abstract: Provided is a method, system, and program for maintaining status information on data transmitted to an output device. Data is transmitted to an Input/Output (I/O) device. The I/O device stores the transmitted data in a computer readable medium memory. A determination is made as to whether a fixed amount of data exceeding a threshold was transmitted. An indication is made that transmitted data equivalent to the fixed amount was successfully outputted from the computer readable medium after determining that the fixed amount of data exceeding the threshold was transmitted.
