1. A method of storing an immutable file, the method comprising:
- detect the immutable file;
determine an expiry date of said immutable file;
analyze available storage space to determine a suitable storage location; and
store the immutable file in said suitable storage location;
wherein an estimated storage life of said suitable storage location accommodates said expiry date.

Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for storing an immutable file in cloud disk space determined to be suitable for the length of time the file specified to be maintained. This is done by detecting the immutable status of a data file to be saved and determining an expiry date of said immutable file. The available cloud storage space is analyzed to determine suitable storage locations, and the immutable data file is stored in the location determined to be optimal that accommodates the expiry date of the immutable file.
