Information management of mobile device data
First Claim
1. A method of providing information management for mobile device data, comprising:
- associating a mobile device with an information management system of an organization based on selection of criteria, associated with performing an information management operation,wherein the selected criteria are received via a user interface of the mobile device,wherein the organization includes a structured body of users who have access to computing devices on an intranet within the organization;
wherein the information management system includes a computing device having a primary storage,wherein the computing device executes one or more information management policies to generate and store non-production copies of information stored by other computing devices that are associated with the information management system, andwherein the computing device stores the non-production copies in secondary storage devices that are communicatively coupled via a private network to the computing device;
receiving information at the mobile device, based on the criteria selections received via the user interface, for determining a user-defined information management policy to be associated with the mobile device;
receiving, at the computing device, information for implementing a user-defined information management policy for the mobile device,wherein the user-defined information management policy is based on the criteria selections received via the user interface, andwherein the computing device associates the user-defined information management policy with the mobile device;
providing instructions to modify at least one user selected criteria in the user-defined information management policy that conflicts with a criteria in an information management policy of the organization,wherein the information management policy of the organization is a group-wide policy,wherein the instructions include instructions for modifying the user-defined information management policy implemented on the mobile device in accordance with the information management policy of the organization; and
transmitting information from the mobile device to the information management system in accordance with the user-defined information management policy for the mobile device.

10. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium carrying instructions for performing a method to provide information management for mobile device data, the method comprising:
-
providing, via a mobile device, a user interface to permit a user of an information management system to define at least one information management policy for the mobile device, wherein the at least one information management policy includes a set of criteria associated with performing information management operations, wherein the mobile device includes wireless communication capabilities, wherein the user is associated with an organization, and wherein the organization includes a structured body of users who have access to computing devices within the organization; receiving, via the user interface at the mobile device, a selection of criteria of the at least one information management policy to determine a user-defined information management policy to be associated with the mobile device; transmitting to the information management system the user-defined information management policy which includes the user selected criteria; receiving instructions to modify at least one user selected criteria in the user-defined information management policy that conflicts with a criteria in an information management policy of the organization, wherein the information management policy of the organization is a group-wide policy, and wherein the instructions include instructions for modifying the user-defined information management policy implemented on the mobile device in accordance with the information management policy of the organization; and transmitting information from the mobile device to the information management system in accordance with the user-defined information management policy for the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
