17. A system for archiving data, the system comprising:
-
a first information store containing one or more data items; a secondary storage device; and a computer, connectable to the first information store and the secondary storage device; wherein the computer is programmed to identify, in the first information store, a first data item satisfying a retention criteria, wherein the retention criterion is based on at least one characteristic of the first data item;
to copy the identified first data item to the secondary storage device;
to create, in the first information store, a second data item containing a subset of the data of the identified first data item selected based on the data type of the first data item and the second data item including index information identifying a location of the identified first data item in the secondary storage device; and
to replace the first data item from the first information store. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

23. A system for archiving data comprising:
-
a plurality of application-specific data agents each configured to coordinate archiving of first data items that satisfy a retention criterion, each first data item used in a particular software application; and a plurality of application-specific stubbing modules each functionally integrated with a corresponding application-specific data agent, each stubbing module being configured to replace the first data item that satisfies the retention criterion and that is used in the corresponding software application with a second data item used in the corresponding software application, the second data item representing a subset of the first data item and including index information identifying a location of the replaced first data item.
