Abstract: A method and system for reducing storage requirements and speeding up storage operations by reducing the storage of redundant data includes receiving a request that identifies one or more data objects to which to apply a storage operation. For each data object, the storage system determines if the data object contains data that matches another data object to which the storage operation was previously applied. If the data objects do not match, then the storage system performs the storage operation in a usual manner. However, if the data objects do match, then the storage system may avoid performing the storage operation.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein address the need to more efficiently backup a network-based storage environment that may be remote from a primary storage environment. For example, embodiments herein can provide a more efficient backup of a storage managed by a third-party entity. To improve the backup process, embodiments herein may optimize the number of scanning threads that are used to identify files that are to be backed up by, for example, analyzing the characteristics of the network and/or the network storage system to determine a number of scanning threads that will enable faster scanning of the network storage system while at the same time not overburden or be slowed down by a network between the network-based storage environment and the primary storage environment.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for efficiently accessing a secondary storage in highly available clustered storage environment may include receiving a client-initiated data request at a secondary server coupled to a secondary storage; determining request information about the client-initiated data request; determining with the secondary server whether to process the client-initiated data request on the secondary storage based on the determined request information; and responsive to determining that the secondary server should process the client-initiated data request, processing the client-initiated data request by the secondary server to retrieve data from the secondary storage.

Abstract: An improved information management system that implements a staging area or cache to temporarily store primary data in a native format before the primary data is converted into secondary copies in a secondary format is described herein. For example, the improved information management system can include various media agents that each include one or more high speed drives. When a client computing device provides primary data for conversion into secondary copies, the primary data can initially be stored in the native format in the high speed drive(s). If the client computing device then submits a request for the primary data, the media agent can simply retrieve the primary data from the high speed drive(s) and transmit the primary data to the client computing device. Because the primary data is already in the native format, no conversion operations are performed by the media agent, thereby reducing the restore delay.

Abstract: An improved content indexing (CI) system is disclosed herein. For example, the improved CI system may include a distributed architecture of client computing devices, media agents, a single backup and CI database, and a pool of servers. After a file backup occurs, the backup and CI database may include file metadata indices and other information associated with backed up files. Servers in the pool of servers may, in parallel, query the backup and CI database for a list of files assigned to the respective server that have not been content indexed. The servers may then request a media agent to restore the assigned files from secondary storage and provide the restored files to the servers. The servers may then content index the received restored files. Once the content indexing is complete, the servers can send the content index information to the backup and CI database for storage.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, operations performed as part of a backup process may be stored in transaction logs. These transaction logs may include information about a transaction performed between the client computing system and the network storage that hosts the backup of the client computing system. The transaction logs may be provided to a secondary storage system that can be used to form a backup index. The backup index may be used to facilitate accessing the data stored at the network storage. Advantageously, generating the transaction logs and separating the generation of the backup index from the backup process can reduce resource usage during performance of the backup and speed up the backup process while further reducing interaction with the storage manager.

The location based broadcast channel selection and update method includes determining a location of a mobile device. The location is checked against a current location area. A query is sent to a license server with the location if the location is beyond the current location area. A list of television broadcast channels associated with the location is sent by the license server and the received list of television broadcast channels are mapped against the current list of television broadcast channels. The mobile device is reconfigured with the mapped list of television broadcast channels.

Abstract: One embodiment provides event handling in a cloud based multi-tenant identity management system. Embodiments receive a plurality of individual events and a request to create a group from the individual events. Embodiments publish the group as a composite event and persist the composite event in a composite queue. Embodiments then dispatch the composite event to a composite handler, parse the composite event and persist the individual events in respective event queues.

Abstract: A deduplicated storage system is provided according to certain embodiments that uses one or more mechanisms to update the deduplication database and remove records corresponding to data blocks that have been or will be erased from the secondary copies, without using or tracking reference counting values. Some embodiments described herein use a secondary table (for tracking archive file contents) and a bitmap to mark which primary records are present in the secondary table. In another embodiment, once the marking phase is completed, the deduplication system uses the marked-up bitmap to identify the corresponding records from the primary table that can be moved to another table for storing “zero-reference” data blocks. In other embodiments, the system will then traverse the “zero-reference” table and remove those primary data blocks from secondary storage devices.

Abstract: If a deduplication database becomes corrupted or is lost, the deduplication database may be reconstructed by restoring an earlier backup copy of the deduplication database. The backup copy of the deduplication database, however, may not be synced with the deduplicated data blocks that are presently stored in the secondary storage subsystem. To address the possibility of data loss and improve reconstruction timing, a deduplicated storage system is provided according to certain embodiments that uses one or more mechanisms to restore the deduplication database and resync with the secondary storage by using one or more journal files that track the data blocks that have been or may have been deleted from the secondary storage since the last deduplication database backup.
