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;

    store a plurality of tags and a plurality of tag rules in an index associated with one or more secondary storage controller computers;

    in response to user interaction with a graphical user interface to associate a first tag of one or more tags with a first file, and store an identifier associated with the first tag in association with the first file in the index, wherein the index is stored in a separate file from 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 one or more secondary storage controller computers are configured to;

    electronically access based on the identifier at least a first tag rule in the index associated with the first tag;

    perform on the first file at least a first secondary storage operation specified by the first tag rule 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.
