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 comprising computer hardware configured to copy data from a primary storage subsystem to a secondary storage subsystem;
a plurality of tags wherein at least a first tag is associated with a first file;
a plurality of tag rules, wherein at least a first tag rule is associated with at least a first tag; 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 at least a first tag rule 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.

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:
-
storing a plurality of tags wherein at least a first tag is associated with a first file stored in a primary storage subsystem; storing a plurality of tag rules in association with one or more secondary storage controller computers, at least a first tag rule associated with the first tag, wherein the one or more secondary storage controller computers comprising computer hardware configured to copy data from the primary storage subsystem to a secondary storage subsystem; 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; electronically accessing at least the first tag rule associated with the first tag; performing on the first file at least a first secondary storage operation specified by the first tag rule 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)
