Abstract:
Disclosed methods and systems leverage resources in a storage management system to partially synchronize primary data files based on synchronizing selected portions thereof without regard to changes that may be occurring in other non-synchronized portions. Accordingly, a number of primary data files may be partially synchronized by synchronizing designated portions thereof via auto-restore operations from backup data. This approach relies on storage management resources to designate portions of source data that is to be kept synchronized across any number of targets; detect changes to the designated portions; back up changes to secondary storage; and distribute the changes from secondary storage to the associated targets, with minimal impact to the primary data environment. The approach may be mutually applied, so that changes in any one of an associated group of source data files may be likewise detected, backed up, and distributed to the other members of the group.

Claim (Index 8):
A storage management system for using backup and restore operations for synchronizing portions but not entireties of primary data files, the system comprising:\n a first computing device comprising one or more processors and computer memory; a second computing device comprising one or more processors and computer memory; a storage manager comprising one or more processors and computer memory; wherein the first computing device is configured to: based on at least one change that occurred in a first portion of a first data file that is accessed as primary data by the first computing device,\n back up the first portion of the first data file to a secondary copy of the first portion, into a backup format not accessible as primary data to the first computing device; \n wherein the second computing device is configured to: restore the secondary copy of the first portion to a second portion of a second data file that is accessed as primary data by the second computing device,\n thereby transforming the secondary copy of the first portion from the backup format to primary data within the second data file; and \n wherein the storage manager is configured to: based on receiving notice from the first computing device that at least one change occurred in the first portion of the first data file:\n (a) instruct the first computing device to back up the first portion of the first data file to the secondary copy of the first portion, and \n (b) instruct the second computing device to restore the secondary copy of the first portion to the second portion of the second data file.
