SOURCE-SIDE ACCELERATED INDEXING FOR DATA PROTECTION SEARCH
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for storing indexed metadata associated with backed up data, comprising:
- for each first data item stored at a first client device to be backed up, extracting, at the first client device, an associated first metadata item;
transforming, at the first client device, the first metadata item based on a predefined metadata definition;
associating, at the first client device, a first client identifier and a backup identifier with the transformed first metadata item; and
transferring the transformed first metadata item from the first client device to a metadata bus of a search cluster.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for storing indexed metadata associated with backed up data is provided. The operations comprising: for each first data item stored at a first client device to be backed up, extracting, at the first client device, an associated first metadata item; transforming, at the first client device, the first metadata item based on a predefined metadata definition; associating, at the first client device, a first client identifier and a backup identifier with the transformed first metadata item; and transferring the transformed first metadata item from the first client device to a metadata bus of a search cluster.

9. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for storing indexed metadata associated with backed up data, the operations comprising:
-
for each first data item stored at a first client device to be backed up, extracting, at the first client device, an associated first metadata item; transforming, at the first client device, the first metadata item based on a predefined metadata definition; associating, at the first client device, a first client identifier and a backup identifier with the transformed first metadata item; and transferring the transformed first metadata item from the first client device to a metadata bus of a search cluster. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A data processing system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations for storing indexed metadata associated with backed up data, the operations including; for each first data item stored at a first client device to be backed up, extracting, at the first client device, an associated first metadata item; transforming, at the first client device, the first metadata item based on a predefined metadata definition; associating, at the first client device, a first client identifier and a backup identifier with the transformed first metadata item; and transferring the transformed first metadata item from the first client device to a metadata bus of a search cluster. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
