    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a method is provided for performing a storage operation in a pipeline storage system in which one or more data streams containing data to be stored are written into data chunks. The method includes generating an encryption key associated with a first archive file to be stored when encryption is requested for the storage operation, encrypting the archive data from the data stream using the encryption key to create an encrypted data chunk when a data stream containing the archive file is processed in the pipeline storage system, storing the encrypted data chunk on a storage medium, and storing the encryption key in a manner accessible during a restore operation of the encrypted data chunk.

    Abstract: Virtual machine (VM) proliferation may be reduced through the use of Virtual Server Agents (VSAs) assigned to a group of VM hosts that may determine the availability of a VM to perform a task. Tasks may be assigned to existing VMs instead of creating a new VM to perform the task. Furthermore, a VSA coordinator may determine a grouping of VMs or VM hosts based on one or more factors associated with the VMs or the VM hosts, such as VM type or geographical location of the VM hosts. The VSA coordinator may also assign one or more VSAs to facilitate managing the group of VM hosts. In some embodiments, the VSA coordinators may facilitate load balancing of VSAs during operation, such as during a backup operation, a restore operation, or any other operation between a primary storage system and a secondary storage system.

    Abstract translation: 可以通过使用分配给一组VM主机的虚拟服务器代理(VSA)来减少虚拟机(VM)的扩散,这些VM主机可能决定执行任务的可用性。 可以将任务分配给现有VM,而不是创建新的VM来执行任务。 此外,VSA协调器可以基于与VM或VM主机相关联的一个或多个因素(例如VM主机的VM类型或地理位置)来确定VM或VM主机的分组。 VSA协调器还可以分配一个或多个VSA以便于管理VM主机组。 在一些实施例中,VSA协调器可以在操作期间(诸如在备份操作,恢复操作或主存储系统和辅助存储系统之间的任何其他操作)中促进VSA的负载平衡。

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing automated problem reporting in elements used in conjunction with computer networks are disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of elements that perform data migration operations and a reporting manager or monitor agent which monitors the elements and data migration operations. Upon detection of hardware or software problems, the reporting manager or monitor agent automatically communicates with elements affected by the problem to gather selected hardware, software, and configuration information, analyzes the information to determine causes of the problem, and issues a problem report containing at least a portion of the selected information. The problem report is communicated to a remote monitor that does not possess access privileges to the elements, allowing automated, remote monitoring of the elements without compromising security of the computer network or elements.

    Abstract: A data storage system can scan one or more information stores of primary storage and analyze the metadata of files stored in the one or more information stores of primary storage to identify multiple, possibly relevant, secondary copy operations that can be performed on the files. The storage system can also identify primary storage usage information of each file during the scan and use that information to generate reports regarding the usage of the primary storage.

    Abstract: A data storage system protects data identified for deletion which has been created or modified between scheduled data backups. The system copies the data to temporary storage, normalizes the copy, and merges the normalized data from the temporary storage to a secondary storage device. For instance, the system merges the data on the secondary storage device at locations indicated by the file path saved in metadata. In another manner, the system merges changes between the previously backed up version of the data and the data identified for deletion into the previously backed up version of the data stored on the secondary storage device at the locations indicated by the file path. In a further manner, the system merges the differences between the previously backed up version of the data and the data identified for deletion at the locations indicated by the file path.

    Abstract: Virtualization sprawl can lead to virtual machines with no designated periodic backup. If the data associated with these unprotected virtual machines is not backed up, it cannot be restored if needed, leading to system failures. A data storage system identifies and protects the unprotected virtual machines. For instance, the system automatically identifies and categorizes unprotected virtual machines. The system further identifies those unprotected virtual machines that remain uncategorized and notifies a system administrator of the unprotected virtual machines. The system further applies a default backup policy to the uncategorized and unprotected virtual machines to provide protected virtual machines.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for performing storage operations relating to a first secondary copy of electronic data. A storage policy or storage preferences may dictate that a replication copy should be used in storage operations performed to a particular client, sub-client, data, media or other item. Based on the storage policy, when a new client, sub-client, data, media or other item is received, a media agent determines whether there is a replication copy of the item. In the absence of a replication copy, one may be created. The replication copy may be provided by a third party application, or created by the client or a storage management system component. Information regarding the replication copy and its corresponding first secondary copy may be stored in a database. To optimize use of system resources, storage operations relating to the first secondary copy may be performed using the replication copy instead of the first secondary copy.
