Abstract
In one example, a method for managing data includes defining a policy concerning migration of a dataset, and the policy specifies a condition that the dataset is to be migrated from a first storage entity to a second storage entity after the passage of a length of time during which the dataset was not accessed. The policy is then associated with the dataset. Next, a determination is made as to whether the condition of the policy has been met, and when the condition of the policy has been met, the dataset is automatically migrated from the first storage entity to the second storage entity.
