Abstract
Techniques for implementing a data management scheme for optimizing data storage are described herein. A deletion quantity or other metric relating to deletions of data within a first storage zone are tracked. Upon detection that the tracked deletion metric meets certain criteria, the data within the first storage zone are moved to a second storage zone. A verification of the data to be moved is also performed, and if such verification indicates that at least a portion of the data is corrupted, routines repairing and/or restoring at least the corrupted portion are initiated.
