Abstract
Metadata about files present at clients is collected. The metadata includes values for a set of features associated with the files. The values are normalized and centroids are calculated. For each file, a comparison is performed of a normalized value of a feature associated with a file against a respective centroid calculated for the feature. Based on the comparison, the file is or is not backed up. A machine learning model is applied to files that have been backed up to tier the backed up files.
