Geo-location-based data replication

A system for managing an auxiliary data location and a secondary data location, the system comprising:

• one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon;
• and,
• one or more processors that, having executed the computer-executable instructions, configure the system to perform a plurality of operations comprising:
• according to information management policy assigned to a client computing device, synchronize secondary copy data stored at a first secondary data location to a first auxiliary data location to obtain auxiliary copy data from the secondary copy data,
• wherein the secondary copy data is backed up from primary data stored at the client computing device,
• wherein the information management policy is a collection of preferences or settings for performing data management operations on production data assigned to the information management policy and on secondary copies of the production data;
• determining whether the client computing device has permanently moved from a first location to a second location, wherein the first location is associated with the first secondary data location and the second location is associated with the first auxiliary data location, wherein:
• the determining whether the client computing device has permanently moved from the first location to the second location comprises:
• determining a probability value that the client computing device has permanently moved from the first location to the second location based on location information obtained from the client computing device,
• comparing the determined probability value with a probability threshold value that indicates a likelihood that the client computing device has permanently moved;
• in response to the determination that the client computing device has permanently moved from the first location to the second location:
• designating the first auxiliary data location as a second secondary data location;
• and
• designating the first secondary data location as a second auxiliary data location;
• configuring the client computing device to back up primary data to the second secondary data location;
• and
• backing up the primary data stored at the client computing device to the second secondary data location to obtain updated secondary copy data.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a system to perform a plurality of operations comprising:

• according to information management policy assigned to a client computing device, synchronizing secondary copy data stored at a first secondary data location to a first auxiliary data location to obtain auxiliary copy data from the secondary copy data,
• wherein the secondary copy data is backed up from primary data stored at the client computing device,
• wherein the information management policy is a collection of preferences or settings for performing data management operations on production data assigned to the information management policy and on secondary copies of the production data;
• determining whether the client computing device has permanently moved from a first location to a second location, wherein the first location is associated with the first secondary data location and the second location is associated with the first auxiliary data location, wherein:
• the determining whether the client computing device has permanently moved from the first location to the second location comprises:
• determining a probability value that the client computing device has permanently moved from the first location to the second location based on location information obtained from the client computing device, and
• comparing the determined probability value with a probability threshold value that indicates a likelihood that the client computing device has permanently moved;
• in response to the determination that the client computing device has permanently moved from the first location to the second location:
• designating the first auxiliary data location as a second secondary data location, and,
• designating the first secondary data location as a second auxiliary data location;
• configuring the client computing device to back up primary data to the second secondary data location;
• and,
• backing up the primary data stored at the client computing device to the second secondary data location to obtain updated secondary copy data.
