Abstract: A data storage management system is enhanced to accommodate, and moreover to optimize, the storing and retention of deduplicated secondary copies at write-once read-many (WORM) enabled storage platforms. Enhancements include without limitation: user interface (UI) options to enable WORM functionality for secondary storage, whether used for deduplicated or non-deduplicated secondary copies; enhancements to secondary copy (e.g., deduplication copy, backup) operations; and pruning changes. The storage manager is generally responsible for managing the creation, tracking, and deletion of secondary copies, with and without deduplication. Media agents that store secondary copies to and prune them from the WORM-enabled storage platforms also are enhanced for communicating and interoperating with both bucket-level and object-level WORM-enabled storage platforms to implement the features disclosed herein.

Abstract: A high availability distributed, deduplicated storage system according to certain embodiments is arranged to include multiple deduplication database media agents. The deduplication database media agents store signatures of data blocks stored in secondary storage. In addition, the deduplication database media agents are configured as failover deduplication database media agents in the event that one of the deduplication database media agents becomes unavailable.

Abstract: According to certain aspects, a method can include receiving an indication that a restoration of a deduplication database using a secondary copy of a file associated with a secondary copy job is complete; retrieving a first data fingerprint from a data storage database, wherein the first data fingerprint is associated with the secondary copy job used to restore the deduplication database; retrieving a second data fingerprint from a deduplication database media agent, wherein the second data fingerprint is associated with the secondary copy job used to restore the deduplication database; comparing the first data fingerprint with the second data fingerprint to determine whether the first data fingerprint and the second data fingerprint match; and transmitting an instruction to the deduplication database media agent to rebuild the restored deduplication database in response to a determination that the first data fingerprint and the second data fingerprint do not match.
