ABSTRACT:
A method for performing data backup operations may involve copying data to be archived from a source system and copying file properties from the source system. The file properties may include archiving properties for at least one data file among the copied data. The data file may then be archived in accordance with the archiving properties. The copied data may be copied from a first host onto a second host. The file properties may also be copied from the first host onto the second host. The file properties may be stored as file attributes or metadata on the source system and may be copied to an archiving server along with the file. Additionally, a method for performing off-host processing of data may involve copying data to be processed from a source system, copying processing instructions from the source system and processing the copied data according to the copied processing instructions.
