Abstract
The present disclosure provides for analyzing data stored in a data protection storage system to determine a prospective storage scheme that provides a more efficient use of storage resources in the data protection storage system. Data can be analyzed to identify a set of data suitable for long term storage in an archive. Data can be analyzed to identify a set of data suitable for deletion to reduce duplicate copies of data, and remove expired data. Protection policies that provide double coverage of data, causing additional inefficient storage of data, can be identified. A prospective amount of freed storage and other savings can be calculated, if all or part of the prospective storage scheme is implemented, where the prospective amount of freed storage and other savings can be displayed to in a report. A prospective storage scheme may also be determined for a client system that stores live data.
