  • a computer usable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising;

    computer usable program code configured to implement an archive storage area having a unified storage structure including a unitary archive folder such that all items stored in the archive storage are logically contained within said unitary archive folder;

    computer usable program code configured to implement a manifest that is stored within said archive storage area when said archive storage area is loaded onto a storage device, said manifest comprising;

    an index of items stored in said unified structure of said archive;

    at least one backup queue that temporarily queues a list of items that satisfy predetermined backup criteria but have not been backed up; and

    computer usable program code configured to implement an archive service that;

    intermediates between software modules and said archive storage area to control requests for access to items stored in said unified storage structure by interacting with and correspondingly updating said index of said manifest as items are retrieved and stored in said unified storage structure;

    provides an interface that interacts with a user to manipulate and interact with said organizational structure to define user-defined views of the contents of said unified storage structure; and
