Systems and methods for providing and/or facilitating live browsing of granular mail or mailbox data, such as data stored within Exchange mailboxes, are described. For example, the systems and methods may provide mechanisms for browsing and/or restoring granular data (e.g., email data) from an Exchange database backup copy (or other secondary copy), without having to restore the entire database from the backup copy.

Live browsing of granular mailbox data

According to certain aspects, a secondary computing system can be configured to perform a full backup on database data, generate incremental backups comprising log files associated with modifications to the database data, and create a differential full backup copy of the database data using the full backup copy and changed blocks identified using the log files from the incremental backups.

Managing structured data in a data storage system

A system according to certain aspects improves the process of creating secondary copies of data (e.g., creating backup copies). The system can compute the score of the data (e.g., a computer file storing information) to be backed up, and determine whether the score satisfies one or more threshold criteria before backing up the data. In one example, a change in score indicates a change in the content of the data. The threshold criteria may be that the score be different from the score of the most recently backed up copy of the data.

Intelligent protection of data

Aspects of this disclosure relate to protecting email data. For example, email protection rules can instruct an email server to route an email to an email protection module. The one or more email rules can identify a group of one or more email addresses. The email protection module can receive an email from the email server that has an email address of the group as an intended receipt. The email protection module can route the email to secondary storage and store the email in secondary storage to create a secondary copy of the email. The secondary copy can be stored inline to persistent memory of secondary storage, according to certain embodiments. Access to the backup copy of the email stored to the persistent memory can be controlled, for example, based on whether a user had permission to access to the email when the email was sent.
