Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for performing data scanning in a heterogenous data storage environment. A data scanning process on multiple different data storages may be performed based on a data scanning request, which specifies certain data of interest to be detected during the scanning. First, sampled data records are scanned from each of the data storages. Based on analyzing the data in the sampled data records and the metadata associated with each data storage, a fingerprint may be generated for each of the data storages that indicates a likelihood that the data storage includes the data of interest. A second scan may be performed on the data storage only if the fingerprint exceeds a threshold. The data of interest may be detected in the data storages during the second scan of the selected data storages.
