A method and system for managing a file lifecycle is disclosed. The method incorporates a virtual file cabinet having virtual drawers. Files are moved from drawer to drawer throughout their lifecycle in accordance with policies associated with each drawer. The files are moved automatically and as such, a file's lifecycle is managed from file creation to file deletion in an automated fashion. By using an archiving device such as magneto optical storage media, the files are automatically moved to their final archived location in an archiving drawer once certain policies of their present drawer are met. The system is an electronic system employing the inventive method.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de gestion du cycle de vie de fichiers électroniques. Ce procédé comporte une armoire virtuelle de fichiers comprenant des tiroirs virtuels, et il consiste à déplacer des fichiers d'un tiroir à un autre, au cours du cycle de vie de ces fichiers, en fonction de polices associées à chaque tiroir, ces dossiers étant déplacés automatiquement; ainsi le cycle de vie d'un fichier est géré de manière automatique, depuis la création du fichier jusqu'à son effacement. En utilisant un dispositif d'archivage, tel qu'un support de stockage magnéto-optique, les fichiers sont automatiquement déplacés vers leur emplacement final d'archivage, dans un tiroir d'archivage, dès que certaines polices du tiroir où ils se trouvent actuellement, correspondent. Ce système est un système électronique mettant en oeuvre le procédé selon l'invention.
