ABSTRACT:
Provided is a system, method, and program for maintaining a backup copy of files in a primary storage device in a backup storage device. The files in the primary storage device are capable of being restored from the backup copy of the files in the backup storage device. An association of one of a plurality of priority values is maintained for each file in the backup copy in the backup storage device. The priority value associated with each file in the backup copy of the files is used to determine the order in which the files in the backup copy are restored from the backup storage device to the primary storage device.
