1. A computerized method for copying electronic data stored in a first backup data set, the method comprising:
- identifying, in the first backup data set, a data item satisfying a selection criterion based at least in part on a data-specific ID, and wherein the data-specific ID is associated with a software application for the data item or is associated with a file type for the data item; and
copying to a second backup data set at least a portion of the data item, wherein the copying is based on one of at least two differing storage seguence preferences, and wherein the one storage seguence preference is based on the data-specific ID.

19. A system for copying electronic data, the system comprising:
-
a first backup data set containing one or more data items; a second backup data set; and a computer, connectable to the first backup data set and the second backup data set; wherein the computer is programmed to identify, in the first backup data set, a first data item satisfying a selection criteria based at least in part on a data-specific ID, wherein the data-specific ID is associated with a software application for the data item or is associated with a file type for the data item; and to copy at least a portion of the first data item from the first backup data set to the second backup data set, and wherein the copying is based on one of at least two differing storage sequence preferences, and wherein the one storage sequence preference is based on the data-specific ID.

20. A computer usable medium storing program code which, when executed on a computerized device, causes the computerized device to execute a computerized method for copying electronic data stored in a first backup data set, the method comprising:
-
identifying, in the first backup data set, a data item satisfying a selection criterion based at least in part on a data-specific ID. wherein the data-specific ID is associated with a software application for the data item or is associated with a file type for the data item; and copying to a second backup data set at least a portion of the data item, and wherein the copying is based on one of at least two differing storage seguence preferences, and wherein the one storage seguence preference is based on the data-specific ID.
