Abstract:
An information management system according certain aspects for archiving file system content may include a third-party application archiving data agent configured to: access third-party application archiving rules for archiving data to one or more secondary storage devices, wherein the third-party application archiving rules are defined by a third-party application to archive files associated with the third-party application; access third-party metadata associated with a plurality of files in a file system, wherein the plurality of files is associated with the third-party application and the third-party metadata is defined by the third-party application; determine whether to archive one or more files of the plurality of files based at least in part on the third-party application archiving rules and the third-party metadata; and in response to determining that a first file of the plurality of files should be archived, archive the first file to the one or more secondary storage devices.
Abstract:
An information management system according to certain aspects is provided to perform archiving based on third-party application rules and third-party metadata. The system may include a third-party archiving data agent that can access archiving rules and/or metadata of a third-party application. The third-party archiving data agent may be a data agent that can access archiving rules and/or metadata of a third-party application, and can include or be in the form of a plug-in for a particular third-party application. The third-party archiving data agent can decide whether to archive a file associated with a third-party application by checking the third-party metadata associated with the file and determining whether the metadata meets the third-party archiving rules. The system can perform the archiving on behalf of the third-party application, and in certain embodiments, notify the third-party application that the archiving has been completed.
