Performing secondary copy operations based on deduplication performance

A networked information management system configured to perform deduplication operations, the networked information management system comprising:

• one or more computing devices configured to:
• access deduplication performance data,
• wherein the deduplication performance data is associated with one or more secondary copy operations performed for primary data stored at one or more client computing devices,
• wherein the primary data is assigned to a first information management policy,
• wherein the first information management policy comprises a first set of parameters or settings for performing deduplication operations during secondary copy jobs of data assigned to the first information management policy,
• wherein the deduplication performance data comprises data indicating deduplication performance of the one or more secondary copy operations;
• access a secondary copy operations metadata associated with the one or more secondary copy operations;
• provide the deduplication performance data and the secondary copy operations metadata to a deduplication performance analyzer comprising one or more machine learning models for evaluating deduplication performance;
• using output of the deduplication performance analyzer, determine that deduplication performance associated with the primary data would be improved under, at least one or more, alternate settings or parameters for performing deduplication operations;
• and
• in response to that determination:
• generate a second information management policy to the primary data from the one or more client computing devices,
• wherein the second information management policy comprises a second set of parameters or settings for performing deduplication operations during secondary copy jobs of data assigned to the second information management policy,
• wherein the second set of parameters or settings for performing deduplication operations is different from the first set of parameters or settings for performing deduplication operation.
