The invention discloses a full distributed copy positioning method used for a data network, wherein, judgment is made at first whether a user command is copy establishment, copy search or copy deletion, and then corresponding operations are respectively performed according to the following steps; judgment is made whether to end after the operations are finished; if continuous operation is required, the user command is accepted after return; if continuous operation is not required, the whole flow is ended; if the user command is copy establishment, physical mapping is registered through a copy catalog manager which is then registered into a local copy manager index; if the user command is copy search, a copy positioning request of a user is received and a mapping table is inquired, and then a physical address set corresponding to a logical file name is returned; if the user command is copy deletion, copy cancel on a routing list is finished through search of the local copy catalog manager index and the copy catalog manager corresponding to a copy. Compared with the prior copy positioning method, the method is characterized in adaptability, support of a copy positioning request of a multiple application domain data network, expansibility, high availability, high security and so on.
