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.

DATACENTER DASHBOARD WITH TEMPORAL FEATURES

A system and method for monitoring performance of an industrial process includes an input port for receiving signals representative of one or more performance parameters generated by the industrial process, a user interface including a display and a controller that is operably coupled with the input port and the user interface. The controller is configured to repeatedly receive signals over time via the input port representative of the one or more performance parameters of the industrial process and to generate a plurality of snapshots, wherein each snapshot includes a graphical representation of the one or more performance parameters of the industrial process at a corresponding time. The controller is configured to generate an animatable heat map including two or more of the plurality of snapshots arranged temporally and to display the animatable heat map on the display.

ENVOY FOR MULTI-TENANT COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE

A data management and storage (DMS) cluster of peer DMS nodes manages data of a tenant of a multi-tenant compute infrastructure. The compute infrastructure includes an envoy connecting the DMS cluster to virtual machines of the tenant executing on the compute infrastructure. The envoy provides the DMS cluster with access to the virtual tenant network and the virtual machines of the tenant connected via the virtual tenant network for DMS services such as data fetch jobs to generate snapshots of the virtual machines. The envoy sends the snapshot from the virtual machine to a peer DMS node via the connection for storage within the DMS cluster. The envoy provides the DMS cluster with secure access to authorized tenants of the compute infrastructure while maintaining data isolation of tenants within the compute infrastructure.

LEVERAGING ASSET METADATA FOR POLICY ASSIGNMENT
20230053273 · 2023-02-16 ·

Embodiments for a data protection method of grouping assets for protection policy assignment based on asset metadata by defining a set of metrics characterizing each asset in the system and comparing each metric of an asset with corresponding metrics of other asset groups each containing one or more other assets. A unique protection policy is assigned to each group for application to each asset within a respective group. An overall affinity percentage of the metrics of asset with the corresponding metrics of each group is determined, and the asset is automatically grouped into the group based with the highest overall affinity percentage. The user is prompted to confirm the automatic grouping or to select a different group for assigning to the asset.

ADJUSTING DATA BACKUPS BASED ON SYSTEM DETAILS

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes retrieving details of a data backup system; determining whether a first data backup operation will complete within the data backup system before a second data backup operation is initiated within the data backup system, based on the details of the data backup system; and conditionally adjusting one or more elements of the data backup system, based on the determining.

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.

Automated orchestration of cyber protection of a set of storage volumes

An Orchestrated Data Recovery (ODR) Cyber Protection Automation (CPA) operates to ensure one-to-one creation of snapsets of a production site and corresponding snapsets of a cyber vault. During an initiation phase, the ODR CPA monitors synchronization of a snapset of production volumes from the production site to the cyber vault. If additional snapsets of the production volumes are created prior to completion of synchronization of the first snapset, the additional snapsets are also synchronized to the cyber vault. Once the initial synchronization of the storage volumes has been completed, the ODR CPA causes a Storage Volume Creation and Management System (SVCMS) to create a snapset of the storage volumes at the cyber vault. Subsequently, each time a snapset is created of the production site, the ODR CPA orchestrates synchronization of the snapset to the cyber vault and creation of a corresponding snapset at the cyber vault.

Snapshot and backup copy operations for individual virtual machines

System and techniques for performing snapshot and backup copy operations for individual virtual machines in a shared storage. The system can also include one or more shared physical computer storage devices communicatively coupled to the hypervisor to store the plurality of virtual machines. A plurality of storage volumes can be provided in the one or more shared physical computer storage devices where each storage volume uniquely corresponding to one of the virtual machines. The system can issue a command to a hypervisor to perform a snapshot or backup copy operation with a particular information management policy.

Virtualized file server smart data ingestion

In one embodiment, a system for managing a virtualization environment includes a set of host machines, each of which includes a hypervisor, virtual machines, and a virtual machine controller, and a data migration system configured to identify one or more existing storage items stored at one or more existing File Server Virtual Machines (FSVMs) of an existing virtualized file server (VFS). For each of the existing storage items, the data migration system is configured to identify a new FSVMs of a new VFS based on the existing FSVM, send a representation of the storage item from the existing FSVM to the new FSVM, such that representations of storage items are sent between different pairs of FSVMs in parallel, and store a new storage item at the new FSVM, such that the new storage item is based on the representation of the existing storage item received by the new FSVM.

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.
