    Abstract: An information management system uses cloud storage resources store secondary copies of primary data created by client computing devices managed by a storage manager. Deduplication operations are performed on the secondary copies, which results in chunk metadata indices that allow for tracking and faster retrieval of the deduplicated secondary copies. The chunk metadata indices may reference data segments of the deduplicated secondary copies. The data segments may be stored in, and across, one or more sub-files. As the secondary copies are aged out from the cloud storage resources, data segments are identified as being orphaned or non-orphaned. Data segments that are orphaned are pruned to remove their corresponding sub-files from the cloud storage resources, where the sub-files are replaced with new sub-files that do not contain the orphaned data segments.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for pooling storage devices in a virtual library for performing a storage operation. A storage management device determines a storage characteristic of a plurality of storage devices with respect to performing a storage operation. Based on a storage characteristic relating to performing the storage operation, the storage management device associates at least two storage devices in a virtual library. The storage management device may continuously monitor the virtual library and detect a change in storage characteristics of the storage devices. When changes in storage characteristics are detected, the storage management device may change associations of the storage device in the virtual library.
