  • executing, by a first computing device, a first executable version of an information management software;

    executing, by the first computing device, a second executable version of the information management software,based on shared binaries for instantiating the first executable version of the information management software and the second executable version of the information management software,wherein when using the second executable version of the information management software, the first computing device operates as a client of a second information management system that is managed by a second storage manager, andwherein data generated by the first computing device is protected according to at least one storage policy configured in the second information management system;

    transmitting information about the first computing device, by the second storage manager to a first storage manager that manages a first information management system, wherein the first information management system lacks any storage policies for protecting the data generated by the first computing device;

    managing, by the first storage manager, based on the information about the first computing device received from the second storage manager, a data transfer of a secondary copy of data from the first information management system to the first computing device executing the first executable version of the information management software based on the shared binaries,thereby making the transferred secondary copy part of the second information management system; and
