Abstract
An approach is provided for collecting data files from target devices. A data collection manager implemented in a mobile device generates a collector based, at least in part, on collection definition data. The collector is configured to perform a data search on a target device. The data collection manager causes to transmit the collector to a network server for storing the collector in the network server, and causes to transmit a notification to the network server to notify a custodian of the target device that the collector is to be downloaded from the network server to the target device for execution. Executing the collector causes the collector to selectively determine one or more data files that have certain characteristics and that are hosted on the target device, collect the one or more data files from the target device, and store the one or more data files in the network server.
