ABSTRACT:
A method and system for locating and eliminating orphan files within a secondary storage device. The method includes identifying a secondary file on a secondary storage device, the secondary file being associated with file identification data, wherein the file identification data includes a content address, identifying a placeholder file on a primary storage device, the placeholder file being associated with an offline reference, and determining if the offline reference of the placeholder file validly references the content address of the secondary file.
