Abstract
A system for and method of storing data comprising: encoding a file into a plurality of fragments; retrieving storage configuration data from a data management store including data associated with a plurality of remote storage volumes, the storage configuration data comprising an indication of a predefined data transmission size corresponding to each remote storage volume; using the storage configuration data to identify a storage strategy associating each fragment with a remote storage volume, wherein using the storage configuration data includes using the indications of the pre defined data transmission sizes; packaging one or more fragments each associated with a common identified remote storage volume as identified by the storage strategy to form a data bundle; communicating the data bundle to the respective common identified remote storage volume associated with the fragments in the data bundle; and storing the fragments at that identified remote storage volume.
