Abstract
Files can be managed to mitigate undesirable reading of files from secondary storage component (SSC) associated with a storage system comprising primary storage component (PSC). File management component (FMC) can determine file identifiers for files stored in SSC and store them in reference files associated with such files. FMC can determine file identifiers for files stored in PSC and store them in a file entry data store. In response to a client request, FMC can determine whether a local file stored in PSC is a copy of an archived file stored in SSC based on whether the respective file identifiers of the archived file and local file or snapshot of the local file match. If there is a suitable match, FMC can read the snapshot of the local file and provide it to client device; if not, FMC can read the archived file and provide it to client device.
