20 Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

establishing a network connection with a network storage volume;

storing, in the network storage volume and via the network connection, a first entry in a first-mode storage bucket and a second entry in a second-mode storage bucket, the first-mode storage bucket having first bucket metadata, and the second-mode storage bucket having second bucket metadata;

monitoring the storing via the network connection to the first-mode storage bucket and the second-mode storage bucket to determine a variable range of a characteristic of a plurality of buckets;

initiating a purge based on the characteristic of the plurality of buckets satisfying the variable range;

selecting at least one bucket to be purged from the plurality of buckets of the network storage volume based at least in part on bucket metadata of the plurality of buckets, the plurality of buckets including the first-mode storage bucket and the second-mode storage bucket; and

causing the purge of the at least one selected bucket from the network storage volume.
