    Abstract: An information management system is provided herein that combines data backup and data migration operations such that data appears available in a network-accessible folder when in fact the data is stored as a secondary copy in a secondary storage device. For example, a user can indicate that a first file should be added to the network-accessible folder. A client computing device can transmit the first file to a secondary storage computing device that performs a backup operation to store a backup copy of the first file in the secondary storage device. The secondary storage computing device can also generate an index of the first file, which includes a location of the backup copy of the first file, and transmit the index to a server that manages the network-accessible folder. Thus, the backup copy of the first file can be retrieved if the first file is selected via the network-accessible folder.

    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: An information management system is described herein that implements a data re-stubbing process. For example, a stub may have been previously migrated from one computing system to a network-accessible folder or to another computing system. The stub may be transparent to the user such that the user perceives the stub as being the actual data (e.g., when displayed). When a user selects the stub, the actual data may be retrieved and replace the stub. After some time, the actual data can be re-stubbed if not in use. If the actual data has not been modified since replacing the original stub, then the actual data can be replaced with the original stub. Otherwise, if the actual data has been modified since replacing the original stub, a new stub can be generated and replace the actual data.
