    Abstract: In general, a data synchronization management system is disclosed in which files (and/or other data) are synchronized among two or more client computing devices in connection with a backup of those files. Synchronization polices specify files to be synchronized based on selected criteria including file data, metadata, and location information. In general, files are initially copied from a primary client computing device to secondary storage. Thereafter, files to be synchronized are identified from the secondary storage, and copied to other client computing devices. Additionally, synchronized files may be viewed and accessed through a cloud and/or remote file access interface.

    Abstract: Embodiments are described for distributed and scalable client-based storage management and microservices-based storage management, which can operate in combination. Embodiments distribute responsibilities and client-specific information needed for storage management jobs away from a central storage manager and its management database. New features and components minimize communications to/from the storage manager and ensure the integrity and synchronization of data being distributed. The management database at the storage manager retains its role as repository of information for the data storage management system as a whole, yet without being a bottleneck to storage operations. Improvements are implemented within the storage manager, through new functionality added to clients, and further through a new micro-server component interposed between storage manager and clients.

    Abstract: A client computing device receives a behavior model corresponding to a user group associated with a user. The behavior model has been trained with monitored user interactions of one or more files associated with the user group. The client computing device further mounts a snapshot of a file and determines, based on the behavior model, which files of the mounted snapshot to transfer to a locally accessible cache. During use of the client computing device, the client computing device may determine whether the mounted snapshot is accessible. If the mounted snapshot is not accessible, the client computing device may selectively delete, based on the behavior model, one or more of the files stored in the locally accessible cache. If the mounted snapshot is accessible, the client computing device may update the one or more files of the locally accessible cache with monitored user interactions with the mounted snapshot.

    Abstract: A system may measure one or more metrics relating to the performance of a job for a set of occurrences of the job with respect to a data set. The measurements may be used to predict a completion time for a subsequent job or phase of the job on the data set. This prediction may be used to present a more accurate indication of a job completion status on the data set. The process may be repeated or performed separately for each client or set of data to provide an individualized progress meter or indicator. Thus, in some cases, variances in the data or computing systems may be reflected in the displayed progress of the job providing for a more accurate indication of job progress.

    Abstract: An information management system implements a geo-location-based data replication using a machine-learning algorithm implemented by a client computing device. The client computing device may create secondary copies at a secondary storage device, wherein a secondary storage computing device creates auxiliary copies of the secondary copies at an auxiliary storage device. The client computing device may move from one geographic location that is near the secondary storage device to a second geographic location that is far from the secondary storage device, but closer to the auxiliary storage device. The machine-learning algorithm is provided with input signals in response to the move, and outputs a probability value that the move is temporary or permanent. Based on the output from the machine-learning algorithm, a storage manager that manages the client computing device may then direct the client computing device to use the auxiliary storage device for storing secondary copies.

    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for better understanding problems arising in an illustrative information management system, such as a data storage management system, and for issuing appropriate alerts and reporting to data management professionals. The illustrative embodiments include a number of features that detect and raise awareness of anomalies in system operations, such as in deduplication pruning operations. Such anomalies can include delays in the processing of archive files to be deleted and/or delays in the generation of the list of archive files to delete. Anomalies are characterized by frequency anomalies and/or by occurrence counts. Utilization is also of interest for certain key system resources, such as deduplication databases, CPU and memory at the storage manager, etc., without limitation. Predicting low utilization periods for these and other key resources is useful for scheduling maintenance activities without interfering with ordinary deduplication pruning operations and/or other data protection jobs.

    Abstract: An illustrative expandable data storage management system includes rules for assigning data protection operations to suitable subtending storage service cells. Each cell is specially configured to protect certain data types and/or to provide certain storage resources for backup data. The system controls customer account access, authentication, service allocation, data security, and sharing of information between a centralized “hub manager” and the storage service cells that perform storage operations, including data backup, data recovery, and data lifecycle management. The system maintains a many-to-many relationship between distinct customers and storage service cells so that any storage service cell may be responsible for protecting any number of data sources of any number of distinct customers, and responsibility for protecting any given customer's data sources may be distributed among any number of storage service cells. The system supports global searching, ensuring that a user-initiated search is applied across the storage service cells.
