Publication number: 20180113769Abstract: A information management system allows a user to search through a secondary copy of data, such as a back up, archive, or snapshot without first retrieving the secondary copy of data. Instead, the system constructs lightweight data that can be displayed to a user as a representation of the search results. Lightweight data may include metadata or other information that identifies data included in the secondary copy of data. The lightweight data may be perceived as being the secondary copy of data and allow a user to browse through search results. Once the user identifies a search result that is of interest, information in the lightweight data can be used to retrieve the secondary copy of data. Because lightweight data may have a smaller file size than the file size of the secondary copy of data, the latency of performing a search may be reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: Jun H. Ahn, Manas Bhikchand Mutha, Chitra Ramaswamy

Patent number: 9933964Abstract: According to certain aspects, a system can include a client computing device configured to: in response to user interaction, store an identifier associated with a first tag in association with a first file; and in response to instructions to perform a secondary copy operation, forward the first file, a second file, and the identifier associated with the first tag. The system may also include a secondary storage controller computer(s) configured to: based on a review of the identifier associated with the first tag, identify the first file as having been tagged with the first tag; electronically obtain rules associated with the first tag; perform on the first file at least a first secondary storage operation specified by the rules associated with the first tag; and perform on the second file at least a second secondary storage operation, wherein the first and second secondary storage operations are different.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Manas Bhikchand Mutha, Pavan Kumar Reddy Bedadala, Vinit Dilip Dhatrak, Christopher A.

Publication number: 20180088825Abstract: Systems and methods for storage pruning can enable users to delete, edit, or copy backed up data that matches a pattern. Storage pruning can enable fine-grain deletion or copying of these files from backups stored in secondary storage devices. Systems and methods can also enable editing of metadata associated with backups so that when the backups are restored or browsed, the logical edits to the metadata can then be performed physically on the data to create a custom restore or a custom view. A user may perform operations such as renaming, deleting, modifying flags, and modifying retention policies on backed up items. Although the underlying data in the backup may not change, the view of the backup data when the user browses the backup data can appear to include the user's changes. A restore of the data can cause those changes to be performed on the backup data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2017Publication date: March 29, 2018Inventors: Manas Bhikchand MUTHA, Jun H. AHN

Publication number: 20180024892Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for cross-system user-level management of data objects stored in one or more information management systems, and for user-level management of data storage quotas in information management systems, including data objects in secondary storage. An illustrative quota manager is associated with one or more information management systems. The quota manager comprises a quota value representing the maximum amount of data storage allowed for a given end-user's primary and secondary data in the one or more information management systems. The quota manager determines whether data associated with the end-user has exceeded the storage quota, and if so, prompts the end-user to select data for deletion, the deletion to be implemented globally, across the primary and secondary storage subsystems of the respective one or more information management systems. Meanwhile, so long as the quota is exceeded, the quota manager instructs storage managers to block backups of end-user's data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2017Publication date: January 25, 2018Inventors: Manas Bhikchand Mutha, Pavan Kumar Reddy Bedadala, Jun H. Ahn, Pavlo Mazur, Jatin Kirtikumar Sanghvi
