Several embodiments of systems incorporating memory components are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a memory system can include a memory component and a processing device configured to access quality metrics corresponding to memory regions of the memory component. In some embodiments, the processing device can compare the quality metrics to one or more memory management thresholds. In some embodiments, when the quality metrics meet and/or exceed a first threshold, a refresh operation can be scheduled and/or performed on a corresponding memory region. In these and other embodiments, when the quality metrics meet and/or exceed a second threshold, the memory region is retired and removed from an active pool of memory regions.

Systems and methods for managing incremental data backups on an object store. A computing device receives first data representing a changed chunk of data in a revision of a data volume on a storage device, the changed chunk includes data having changes from previous data of a previous revision. The computing device creates a block of data representing a copy of the changed chunk on the object store, the object store also includes a previous revision block representing previous revision data. The computing device determines a previous index stored on the object store corresponding to the previous revision, which includes entries including at least one corresponding to the previous revision block. The computing device creates a copy of at least one previous index from the object store, and a revised index that updates the corresponding entry with updated entry data representing the change block.

An example networked computing system for iterative node level recovery comprises a node cluster; a database; at least one processor configured by instructions to perform operations comprising at least: identifying a failed node among existing nodes in the node cluster; identifying and initiating a replacement node as a new node for the node cluster; accessing at the database a logical backup of the node cluster; retrieving logical backup data of the node cluster and identifying specific rows of backup data to be restored to the new node; restoring the specific data rows to the new node; identifying new data written by applications, to the existing nodes of the node cluster, during restoration of the new node; iteratively accessing supplementary back up data to identify supplementary data rows to be restored to the new node; and iteratively restoring the supplementary data rows to the new node until the new node is synchronized with the existing nodes in the node cluster.

In an embodiment, two or more storage systems are requested to prepare respective local checkpoints for a dataset, wherein each of the two or more storage systems stores portion of the dataset. The two or more storage systems are determined to have established the checkpoint. In response to determining that the local checkpoints have been established, a coordinated checkpoint is completed.

A description of a snapshot to be generated is received by a local media controller of a memory device, from a memory sub-system controller. The description comprises a memory address range of a memory device. Responsive to detecting a triggering event, a snapshot of the memory address range of the memory device is generated in view of the description. The snapshot is stored to a destination address. The memory sub-system controller is notified of the triggering event.

In some embodiments, a method implements a Byzantine fault tolerant protocol. A first replica detects a condition to cause a view change procedure to move from a current view to a next view. The first replica sends a message indicating the first replica wants to leave the current view. Also, the first replica receives a set of messages from second replicas indicating a respective second replica wants to leave the current view. The first replica determines when a property is received to the leave the current view based on the set of messages from the set of second replicas. When it is determined the property is received, the first replica performs a process to leave the current view. When it is determined the property is not received, the first replica stays in the current view and participating in processing a request from a client in the current view.

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: analyzing a dataset associated with a service provided by the data protection service provider in order to determine a policy for when and how to replicate the respective components of the dataset corresponding to the service from a source site to a target site, such that the target site may perform the service with a minimum cost.

An improved solid state drive (SSD). The SSD comprising a plurality of non-volatile memory dies, each configured to store at least one block of data associated with one of a plurality of superblocks each containing a plurality of blocks; a volatile memory; and a memory controller. The memory controller configured to store a bit map associated with a first superblock of the plurality of superblocks in the volatile memory, wherein the bit map is configured to indicate whether each of the plurality of blocks is a replacement block, store a block address list in the volatile memory, the block address list is configured to store an address of one or more replacement blocks, and store a replacement block index in the volatile memory associated with the first superblock of the plurality of superblocks, the replacement block index corresponding to the location of an address of a first replacement block of the first superblock in the block address list.

A memory sub-system having non-volatile media on which multiple namespaces are allocated. A command from a host system has an identification of a namespace and at least one error recovery parameter. A controller of the memory sub-system configures the namespace on the non-volatile media according to the at least one error recovery parameter, stores the at least one error recovery parameter in association with the namespace, and controls error recovery operations for data access in the namespace in accordance with the at least one error recovery parameter stored in association with the namespace.

A memory system and a data processing system including the memory system may manage a plurality of memory devices. For example, the data processing system may categorize and analyze error information from the memory devices, acquire characteristic data from the memory devices and set operation modes of the memory devices based on the characteristic data, allocate the memory devices to a host workload, detect a defective memory device among the memory devices and efficiently recover the defective memory device.
