1. In a data management system residing within a private computer network, a method for indexing content, comprising:
- selecting an offline copy of the content from the private computer network, wherein the offline copy of the content is a copy of the content that is not a production copy of the content, and wherein the production copy is available from a live data server within the private computer network;
identifying at least some of the content within the offline copy; and
creating or updating a content index based on the identified content.

Abstract
A method and system for creating an index of content without interfering with the source of the content includes an offline content indexing system that creates an index of content from an offline copy of data. The system may associate additional properties or tags with data that are not part of traditional indexing of content, such as the time the content was last available or user attributes associated with the content. Users can search the created index to locate content that is no longer available or based on the associate attributes.

9. A computer-readable medium containing instructions for controlling a computer system to identify archived content, by a method comprising:
-
receiving a search request, wherein the search request contains criteria for finding target content; searching a content index for target content to create search results, wherein the content index contains information identifying at least one content item that is not available from mounted disk media or faster media; for search results identifying content items that are not available from mounted disk media or faster media, retrieving the target content from an archive location; and providing the search results in response to the search request. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
