Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for autonomic large file marking. A threshold module sets a file size threshold. An identification module identifies each file that exceeds the file size threshold and that is not marked with a limited backup status. A user interface module may query a user if each identified file is to be marked. In response to a user direction to mark the identified file, the marking module may mark with the limited backup status each identified file. In an embodiment, the marking module selects a limited backup status from an exclusion backup status and a single storage backup status.
