1. A method of summarizing electronic data files during a storage event in a storage operation cell, the method comprising the steps of:
- in the storage operation cell, which is managed by a storage manager component,implementing a storage event for a primary copy of an electronic data file that originated on a client computer, wherein the storage event comprises a backup operation of the electronic data file, wherein the backup operation generates a duplicate copy of the electronic data file, which is designated a duplicate data file, wherein the duplicate data file is stored, by a media agent component of the storage operation cell, to a secondary storage device in the storage operation cell;
during the storage event, analyzing the duplicate data file and summarizing the contents of the duplicate data file into a summary, wherein a summary agent component of the storage operation cell performs the analyzing and the summarizing, based on applying fuzzy logic, to synthesize the contents of the duplicate data file into the summary, wherein the summary is substantially smaller than the primary copy of the electronic data file, and further wherein the summary comprises at least one link to the duplicate data file;
storing the summary to at least one component of the storage operation cell; and
transmitting, by the storage manager, in response to a keyword search directed at least in part to the duplicate data file in the secondary storage device, at least a portion of the summary of the contents of the duplicate data file.

14. A method of summarizing electronic data files in a storage operation cell during file restoration from secondary storage, the method comprising the steps of:
-
in the storage operation cell, which is managed by a storage manager component, implementing a first storage event for a primary copy of an electronic data file that originated on a client computer, wherein the storage event generates a duplicate copy of the electronic data file, which is designated a duplicate data file, wherein the duplicate data file is stored, by a media agent component of the storage operation cell, to a secondary storage device in the storage operation cell; implementing a second storage event comprising a restoration operation of the duplicate data file to the client computer, thereby being designated a primary copy of the electronic data file; during the second storage event, analyzing the duplicate data file and summarizing the contents of the duplicate data file into a summary, wherein a summary agent component of the storage operation cell performs the analyzing and the summarizing, based on applying fuzzy logic, to synthesize the contents of the duplicate data file into the summary, wherein the summary is substantially smaller than the primary copy of the electronic data file, and further wherein the summary comprises a link to the duplicate data file in the secondary storage device; and storing the summary to at least one component of the storage operation cell. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
