    Abstract: The disclosed approach works without the individualized credentials of failed machines when setting up recovery VMs in a cloud computing environment. Each recovery VMs is customized to properly correspond to the system state of its failed counterpart. An illustrative data storage management system recovers backup data and system states collected from the counterpart computing devices, custom-configures recovery VMs in the cloud computing environment, and injects the desired drivers into each recovery VM during an enhanced bare-metal restore process. The enhanced bare-metal restore process works without the failed computer's credentials. The system also restores the backed up data to recovery volumes attached to the recovery VMs. The present approach is both scalable and secure. When the enhanced bare-metal restore process completes, each cloud-based recovery VM presents a user interface that, for the first time after the computing device has failed, asks for the individualized credentials of the failed machine.

    Abstract: A system according to certain aspects improves the process of creating secondary copies of data (e.g., creating backup copies). The system can compute the score of the data (e.g., a computer file storing information) to be backed up, and determine whether the score satisfies one or more threshold criteria before backing up the data. In one example, a change in score indicates a change in the content of the data. The threshold criteria may be that the score be different from the score of the most recently backed up copy of the data.
