Data management platform

1. A data management platform, comprising:

a storage device configured to store secondary data; and

one or more processors in communication with the storage device and configured to perform operations including:

identifying an aspect of the secondary data stored in the storage device, the secondary data including a backup of respective primary data stored in a primary data source, the aspect of the secondary data including user information for an event series, the event series including at least a create event and subsequent read, write and cleanup events, the event series stored as audit events in a map in a file object cache, the file object cache including authentication information uniquely representing a file object in the file object cache, the authentication information being valid at the create event in the event series, and maintained as the same authentication information for the subsequent read, write and cleanup events in the event series;

identifying or receiving an indication of a target to receive data associated with the identified aspect of the secondary data; and

transmitting the data associated with the aspect of the secondary data to the target as a push transmission.

2. The data management platform of claim 1 , wherein the identified target includes one or more of an application, an NAS device, and an object store.

3. The data management platform of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an identification of a primary data source or aspect of the primary data.

4. The data management platform of claim 3 , wherein the received identification includes an identification of a subset of the primary or secondary data.

5. The data management platform of claim 4 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving, from the target or other entity, a configuration for the push transmission.

6. The data management platform of claim 5 , wherein the received identification of the subset of the primary or secondary data includes file metadata, the file metadata including one or more of a file type, a file name, a file path, a file size, and a user ID.

7. The data management platform of claim 6 , wherein the secondary data includes a series of snapshots and a data difference between one or more snapshots in the series of snapshots.

8. The data management platform of claim 7 , wherein the push transmission is based on or initiated by an identification of the data difference.

9. The data management platform of claim 8 , wherein the data difference is filtered by the data management platform based on the identified file metadata.

10. The data management platform of claim 9 , wherein the filtering performed by the data management platform is confined to the data difference.

11. The data management platform of claim 10 , wherein the filtering performed by the data management platform is initiated on a scheduled basis or triggered by an identification of the data difference.

12. The data management platform of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise performing data management operations subsequent to the push transmission.

13. The data management platform of claim 12 , wherein the data management operations include recording or identifying at least some attributes of the primary data, or at least some attributes of the secondary data included in the push transmission to the target.

14. The data management platform of claim 13 , wherein the at least some attributes of the respective primary or secondary data include one or more of an address of the target, an address of the secondary data, an address of the primary data, and file metadata.

15. The data management platform of claim 3 , wherein the identification of the primary data source or aspect of the primary data, or the identification of the subset of the primary or secondary data, is received from the target.

16. The data management platform of claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise identifying, by the data management platform, a subset of the secondary data based on the received identification of the primary data source or aspect of the primary data.

17. A computer-implemented method at a data management platform, the data management platform including a storage device configured to store secondary data, the method comprising:

identifying an aspect of the secondary data stored in the storage device, the secondary data including a backup of respective primary data stored in a primary data source, the aspect of the secondary data including user information for an event series, the event series including at least a create event and subsequent read, write and cleanup events, the event series stored as audit events in a map in a file object cache, the file object cache including authentication information uniquely representing a file object in the file object cache, the authentication information being valid at the create event in the event series, and maintained as the same authentication information for the subsequent read, write and cleanup events in the event series;

identifying or receiving an indication of a target to receive data associated with the identified aspect of the secondary data; and

transmitting the data associated with the aspect of the secondary data to the target as a push transmission.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the identified target includes one or more of an application, an NAS device, and an object store.

19. A non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when read by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations in a method at a data management platform, the data management platform including a storage device configured to store secondary data, the operations comprising, at least:

identifying an aspect of the secondary data stored in the storage device, the secondary data including a backup of respective primary data stored in a primary data source, the aspect of the secondary data including user information for an event series, the event series including at least a create event and subsequent read, write and cleanup events, the event series stored as audit events in a map in a file object cache, the file object cache including authentication information uniquely representing a file object in the file object cache, the authentication information being valid at the create event in the event series, and maintained as the same authentication information for the subsequent read, write and cleanup events in the event series;

identifying or receiving an indication of a target to receive data associated with the identified aspect of the secondary data; and

transmitting the data associated with the aspect of the secondary data to the target.

20. The medium of claim 19 , wherein the identified target includes one or more of an application, an NAS device, and an object store.
