20230046983 · 2023-02-16 ·

An apparatus comprises at least one processing device configured to identify a snapshot lineage comprising snapshots of a storage volume, the snapshot lineage comprising (i) a local snapshot lineage stored on a storage system and (ii) cloud snapshot lineages stored on cloud storage external to the storage system, to select at least one snapshot that is to be copied from the local snapshot lineage, to determine at least two of the cloud snapshot lineages as destinations for the selected snapshot, to generate a snapshot copy job for copying the selected snapshot to the at least two cloud snapshot lineages, and to process the snapshot copy job by reading data of the selected snapshot stored in the local snapshot lineage once and writing the data of the selected snapshot to the at least two cloud snapshot lineages.

Disaster recovery systems and methods with low recovery point objectives
11579987 · 2023-02-14 · ·

Data recovery systems and methods utilize object-based storage for providing a data protection and recovery methodology with low recovery point objectives, and for enabling both full recovery and point-in-time based recovery. Data generated at a protected site (e.g., via one or more virtual machines) is intercepted during write procedures to primary storage. The intercepted data is replicated via a replication log, provided as data objects, and transmitted to an object based storage system. During recovery, data objects may be retrieved through point-in-time based recovery directly by the systems of the protected site, and/or data objects may be provided via full recovery, for example, within a runtime environment of a recovery site, with minimal data loss and operation interruption by rehydrating data objects within the runtime environment via low-latency data transfer and rehydration systems.

Data query method and apparatus

This disclosure provides a data query method and apparatus. The method includes: dividing an object storage system into a plurality of storage spaces based on time slices, establishing a mapping relationship between the storage spaces, the time slices, and operation records, recording time slice information corresponding to a snapshot after generating the snapshot, and implementing services such as a read-only service, a snapshot rollback service, and an object change service based on the snapshot, so as to improve query performance without adding extra storage overheads.

Fileset partitioning for data storage and management

In one approach, filesets to be backed up are divided into partitions and snapshots are pulled for each partition. In one architecture, a data management and storage (DMS) cluster includes a plurality of peer DMS nodes and a distributed data store implemented across the peer DMS nodes. One of the peer DMS nodes receives fileset metadata for the fileset and defines a plurality of partitions for the fileset based on the fileset metadata. The peer DMS nodes operate autonomously to execute jobs to pull snapshots for each of the partitions and to store the snapshots of the partitions in the distributed data store.

Synchronous replication of high throughput streaming data
11579778 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A method for synchronous replication of stream data includes receiving a stream of data blocks for storage at a first storage location associated with a first geographical region and at a second storage location associated with a second geographical region. The method also includes synchronously writing the stream of data blocks to the first storage location and to the second storage location. While synchronously writing the stream of data blocks, the method includes determining an unrecoverable failure at the second storage location. The method also includes determining a failure point in the writing of the stream of data blocks that demarcates data blocks that were successfully written and not successfully written to the second storage location. The method also includes synchronously writing, starting at the failure point, the stream of data blocks to the first storage location and to a third storage location associated with a third geographical region.

FILE PROCESSING DEVICE, FILE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM
20230039708 · 2023-02-09 ·

The present technology relates to a file processing device, a file processing method, and a program capable of reducing the number of images that the user loses. Restoration data for restoring a high efficiency image file format (HEIF) file storing a still image is written into the HEIF file. The HEIF file is restored using the restoration data. The present technology can be applied to processing of a HEIF file.

System and method for facilitating improved performance in ordering key-value storage with input/output stack simplification
11556277 · 2023-01-17 · ·

During operation, a key-value storage system can receive a request to write data to a data region in a first non-volatile memory. The system can determine a key associated with the data and the key can correspond to an entry in a data structure maintained by a volatile memory the storage system. In response to determining the key, the system can write the data to the data region in the first non-volatile memory. The system can update in the volatile memory the data structure entry corresponding to the key with a physical location in the data region of the first non-volatile memory to which the data is written. The system can write the data structure update to a second non-volatile memory. The system can then store a snapshot of the data structure in a metadata region associated with the first non-volatile memory, thereby allowing persistent storage of the data structure.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING DATA PROTECTION SERVICES USING A GROUPED SUBSYSTEM LEVEL FEEDBACK MECHANISM
20230040406 · 2023-02-09 ·

In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for managing performances of services, the method comprising: generating subsystem groups, wherein each subsystem group of the subsystem groups comprises a plurality of subsystems, wherein each subsystem group is associated with one a plurality of services, wherein the subsystem groups are generated using per-service subsystem requirements; and performing at least one of the plurality of services using a subsystem group of the subsystem groups.

Prevention and mitigation of corrupt database data

Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a data protection system that performs identification of errors from queries on a database. The data protection system can further identify corrupted data from additional errors, are difficult to detect, and occur between layers of data in the database system. The data protection system can perform corrections of the error data by rebuilding database data or removing the corrupted data.

Converting raid data between persistent storage types

Converting RAID data between persistent storage types, including: for each portion of a RAID shard of a RAID stripe: writing, to a respective plurality of source solid state drives, the portion of the RAID shard; detecting that all portions of the RAID shard have been successfully written; copying, from one of the plurality of source solid state drives to a respective target solid state drive among a plurality of target solid state drives from one of the plurality of source solid state drives, the RAID shard, where the RAID shard is copied from a source solid state drive that is different from where each other RAID shard of the RAID stripe is copied from.
