Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: filtering at least one of an array log file and a data log file to determine the occurrence of a data operation event within a data environment, wherein the data operation event includes at least one of generation and modification of data; writing information from the filtered at least one of the array log file and the data log file to a master log file; processing the master log file to determine the location of one or more data files within the data environment, wherein the master log file indicates the occurrence of the data operation event within the data environment, wherein processing includes manual processing and machine processing; and performing a data operation on at least a portion of the one or more data files located via the master log file, wherein performing the data operation includes performing an efficiency enhancement procedure on at least a portion of the one or more data files located via the master log file, wherein the efficiency enhancement procedure comprises at least one of reducing the size of at least a portion of the data files, eliminating redundant data files, clustering related data files within a common storage area, and deleting non-relevant data files; and wherein filtering the at least one of the array log file and the data log file includes filtering the at least one of the array log file and the data log file to remove entries from the at least one of the array log file and the data log file that were previously processed and entries that are not associated with the occurrence of the data operation event.
