Abstract: An improved information management system is described herein in which the information management system can evaluate the deduplication performance of secondary copy operations and dynamically adjust the manner in which secondary copy data is created to minimize the negative effects of performing deduplication. Furthermore, the improved information management system can improve deduplication performance by applying different storage policies to different types of applications running on a client computing device. Moreover, the improved information management system can automatically detect the region of a client computing device and apply an appropriate information management policy to the client computing device to avoid inconsistencies or other errors resulting from administrator control.
