SECONDARY STORAGE OPERATION INSTRUCTION TAGS IN INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A system configured to apply granular secondary storage operation management, the system comprising:
- one or more secondary storage controller computers including computer hardware configured to copy data from a primary storage subsystem to a secondary storage subsystem; and
a client computing device residing in the primary storage subsystem and comprising computer hardware, the client computing device configured to;
in response to user interaction with a graphical user interface to associate a first tag of one or more tags with a first file, store an identifier associated with the first tag in association with the first file; and
in response to receiving instructions to perform, according to a storage policy, a secondary copy operation on a data set in the primary storage subsystem including at least the first file and a second file, forward the first file, the second file, and the identifier associated with the first tag to the one or more secondary storage controller computers;
the one or more secondary storage controller computers further 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 and for processing files 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 specified by the storage policy,wherein the first and second secondary storage operations are different.

Abstract
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.

12. A method of applying granular secondary storage operation management, the method comprising:
-
using a computing device residing in a primary storage subsystem; in response to user interaction with a graphical user interface to associate a first tag of one or more tags with a first file, storing an identifier associated with the first tag in association with the first file; and in response to receiving instructions to perform, according to a storage policy, a secondary copy operation on a data set in the primary storage subsystem including at least the first file and a second file, forwarding the first file, the second file, and the identifier associated with the first tag to one or more secondary storage controller computers including computer hardware configured to copy data from the primary storage subsystem to a secondary storage subsystem; and using the one or more secondary storage controller computers; based on a review of the identifier associated with the first tag, identifying the first file as having been tagged with the first tag; electronically obtaining rules associated with the first tag; performing on the first file at least a first secondary storage operation specified by the rules associated with the first tag; and performing on the second file at least a second secondary storage operation specified by the storage policy, wherein the first and second secondary storage operations are different. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
