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 16):
A storage management system for using backup and restore operations for synchronizing portions but not entireties of primary data files, the storage management system comprising:\n a first computing device comprising one or more processors and computer-readable memory, wherein the first computing device accesses a first data file as primary data; a second computing device comprising one or more processors and computer-readable memory, wherein the second computing device accesses a second data file as primary data; wherein a first data agent on the first computing device is configured to:\n perform a backup operation to create a secondary copy of a first portion of the first data file, wherein the secondary copy is in a backup format not accessible as primary data to the first computing device; \n wherein a second data agent on the second computing device is configured to:\n perform a restore operation to transform the secondary copy of the first portion from the backup format to primary data that is accessible to the second computing device within the second data file; \n a storage manager comprising one or more processors and computer memory, wherein the storage manager is configured to manage the backup operation and the restore operation; and wherein after the restore operation, the first portion of the first data file and the second portion of the second data file are synchronized with each other without the rest of the first data file and the rest of the second data file being respectively synchronized with each other.
