Abstract
A region-based distributed information management system is described herein in which some or all of the operations typically performed by a centralized storage manager can be distributed to storage managers located in the various geographic regions. These regional storage managers can manage components of the information management system located in their respective geographic region, and communicate with the centralized storage manager (also referred to herein as a “master storage manager”) for synchronization purposes and/or to hand off operations that cannot be performed by the regional storage manager.
