Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for concurrent storage to an active data file storage pool, copy pool, and next pool. A copy module copies one or more data files from a client to a storage pool that is configured to store active data files. In addition, the copy module may concurrently copy the data files to a copy pool that is configured to backup the storage pool and stores active and inactive data files. The copy module further concurrently copies the data files to a next pool that is configured to offload one or more data files from the storage pool and may store active and inactive data files. In one embodiment, a migration module migrates one or more inactive data files from the storage pool to the next pool by deleting the inactive data files from the storage pool.
