MULTI-TIER FILE RESTORATION

摘要

A method for automatically encrypting files is disclosed. In some cases, the method may be performed by computer hardware comprising one or more processors. The method can include detecting access to a first file, which may be stored in a primary storage system. Further, the method can include determining whether the access comprises a write access. In response to determining that the access comprises a write access, the method can include accessing file metadata associated with the first file and accessing a set of encryption rules. In addition, the method can include determining whether the file metadata satisfies the set of encryption rules. In response to determining that the file metadata satisfies the set of encryption rules, the method can include encrypting the first file to obtain a first encrypted file and modifying an extension of the first encrypted file to include an encryption extension.

1. A method for restoring a file from secondary storage, the method comprising:
by a computing system comprising one or more processors: receiving, at a media agent, a command from a storage manager to restore a file from a secondary storage device to a recipient system; accessing the secondary storage device to retrieve the file; accessing metadata associated with the file; determining based, at least in part, on the metadata whether the file is encrypted; and in response to determining that the file is encrypted:
modifying the file to mimic, at least in part, an unencrypted version of the file without decrypting the file; andproviding the recipient system with access to the modified file.
