System and method for the classification of storage
First Claim
1. A classification system executing on one or more computer systems, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory includes;
a discovery engine configured to navigate through non-volatile memory storage to discover an identity and location of one or more files in one or more computer storage systems by tracing the one or more files from file system mount points through intermediate file system objects and to disk objects; and
at least one classifier configured to classify the one or more files into a classification category, the one or more files being associated with the classification category and stored in at least one data structure,wherein the one or more files are classified using an installed storage driver method.

Abstract
A classification system executing on one or more computer systems includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory includes a discovery engine configured to navigate through non-volatile memory storage to discover an identity and location of one or more files in one or more computer storage systems by tracing the one or more files from file system mount points through file system objects and to disk objects. A classifier is configured to classify the one or more the files into a classification category. The one or more files are associated with the classification category and stored in at least one data structure. The one or more files are classified using an installed storage driver method. Methods are also provided.

10. A method for classifying storage comprising:
-
discovering an identity and location of one or more files in one or more computer systems; classifying the one or more files into a classification category by resolving types of storage classifications by tracing the one or files from file system mount points through intermediate file system objects to disk objects; and associating the one or more files with the classification category in at least one data structure stored on a storage medium, wherein the one or more files are classified using an installed storage driver method. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for classifying storage, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
-
discovering an identity and location of one or more files in one or more computer systems; classifying the one or more files into a classification category by resolving types of storage classifications by tracing the one or files from file system mount points through intermediate file system objects to disk objects; and associating the one or more files with the classification category in at least one data structure stored on a storage medium, wherein the one or more files are classified using an installed storage driver method. - View Dependent Claims (20)
