Abstract
A system and method for managing data is described herein. A Data Manager (DM) is an application that is able to be situated on a server or a user system to provide capabilities of managing user data. The user data is located and knowledge of where the data is located is stored by the DM. Users are then able to set policies based on scheduling which will manage their data. Furthermore, within the data manager are utilities for managing the data efficiently and properly. The utilities include database management, open file management, VSS, synchronization and encryption. The DM uses the utilities and the policies provided and is able to manage the data as needed so as to ensure environment is healthy and managed the way the user desires.
