Abstract: A data storage management system comprises enhanced capabilities for automatically discovering operational characteristics of data storage devices installed in the system. A user interface enables end-users to submit requests for storage resources ranging from a simple request for a certain amount of storage space to more complex requests that specify the type of storage technology, the manufacturer, the I/O speed of the storage device, etc. The end-user also may include an expiration timeframe for the requested storage space. The system identifies storage devices that are suitable to the end-user's request, automatically provisions the storage space (e.g., LUN), and assigns it to the requestor. The assigned storage space may automatically expire, based on user-requested or system-provided expiration timeframes. Expired storage space is returned to a logical pool of available resources so that it may be assigned in response to other requests. The system comprises special-purpose policies that govern which data storage devices may be used for users submitting requests and further specify other administrative constraints.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for block-level incremental replication of a local file system in a source volume/partition to a storage array—replicated to a single logical disk designated by a logical unit number (LUN) with a single volume/partition corresponding to the source. From the perspective of the storage array, non-native data (e.g., data in a local file system residing in locally-attached storage) may be backed up to a LUN that is native to the storage array and thus available for any number of subsequent LUN-based operations. Enhanced data agents, media agents, and storage manager(s), including replication storage policies, operate in concert with the storage array to execute successive file-system-to-LUN block-level replication jobs to protect the data in the local file system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing application aware backups and/or generating other application aware secondary copies of virtual machines are described. For example, the systems and methods described herein may access a virtual machine, automatically discover various databases and/or applications (e.g., SQL, Exchange, Sharepoint, Oracle, and so on) running on the virtual machine, and perform data storage operations that generate a backup, or other secondary copy, of the virtual machine, as well as backups, or other secondary copies, of each of the discovered applications.

Abstract: Systems and method that restore application data stored by a virtual machine database for an application (e.g., SQL, SharePoint, Exchange, and so on) running on the virtual machine are described. The systems and methods create an integrated snapshot of the application data stored in the virtual machine database, by creating a secondary copy of the application data stored in the virtual machine database, performing, via a virtual server agent (VSA), a software snapshot of the virtual machine, and performing, via the virtual server agent, a hardware snapshot of the software snapshot of the virtual machine.
