    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein address the need to more efficiently backup a network-based storage environment that may be remote from a primary storage environment. For example, embodiments herein can provide a more efficient backup of a storage managed by a third-party entity. To improve the backup process, embodiments herein may optimize the number of scanning threads that are used to identify files that are to be backed up by, for example, analyzing the characteristics of the network and/or the network storage system to determine a number of scanning threads that will enable faster scanning of the network storage system while at the same time not overburden or be slowed down by a network between the network-based storage environment and the primary storage environment.

    Abstract: A data storage system protects data identified for deletion which has been created or modified between scheduled data backups. For instance, the system monitors data operations and when the data operation is a delete, the system determines whether the data identified for deletion has been protected by a backup operation. Data that has not been backed up, such as newly created data, is copied to temporary storage before deletion. When the data has been protected, the system determines whether the data has been modified after the backup operation. Data modified after the backup operation is copied to temporary storage before deletion.

    Abstract: A data storage system protects data identified for deletion which has been created or modified between scheduled data backups. For instance, the system copies the data to temporary storage, saves the file path in the temporary storage, and identifies the copy of the data in temporary storage for backup. In another manner, the system converts the data to a hidden file, copies the hidden file to temporary storage, saves the file path to the temporary storage, and identifies the copy of the hidden file for backup. In a further manner, the system copies the data to temporary storage when it is created, saves the file path to the temporary storage, and identifies the data in the temporary storage for backup after the delete operation is detected and the data is identified as not protected or as modified after the last backup operation.

    Abstract: A data storage system protects data identified for deletion which has been created or modified between scheduled data backups. The system copies the data to temporary storage, normalizes the copy, and merges the normalized data from the temporary storage to a secondary storage device. For instance, the system merges the data on the secondary storage device at locations indicated by the file path saved in metadata. In another manner, the system merges changes between the previously backed up version of the data and the data identified for deletion into the previously backed up version of the data stored on the secondary storage device at the locations indicated by the file path. In a further manner, the system merges the differences between the previously backed up version of the data and the data identified for deletion at the locations indicated by the file path.

    Abstract: An information management system implements a method for securing a media agent from unauthorized access, where the method includes configuring a secondary storage computing device to initialize a filter driver at boot time and monitor process calls to a media agent, where the media agent provides read and write operations to a secondary storage device in communication with the secondary storage computing device. The filter driver may detect a process call to the media agent, and determine whether the process call is authorized. In response to a determination that the process call is authorized, the filter driver may allow the process call to request an operation be performed by the media agent, and the media agent may then perform the requested operation. If the filter driver determines that the process call is not authorized, the filter driver may ignore the process call for the requested operation.
