1. In a computing system environment, a method of differentiating files stored on one or more computing devices, comprising:

  • grouping together files into a set of files according to an original relationship between the files, the set of files having overlapping members in the grouped together files; and

    partitioning the set variously to determine an optimal file grouping having fewer overlapping members, the optimal file grouping being identified by determining a strength of a partition as a function of a strength of the grouped together files in the partition, further wherein said strength of the grouped together files is a function of the number of groups in which each file of the grouped together files appears and the number of groups of files in the grouped together files.
