Abstract: A storage tier manager creates different representations of a dataset backup for different retention periods. Each of the representations of the dataset backup is distinctly identifiable despite initially representing a same dataset backup. The representations are structured metadata corresponding to the dataset backup. One representation is a cached backup version of the dataset backup (“cached backup” or “cached representation”) provided for low latency access while residing at a storage tier of the backup appliance for a relatively short retention period according to a lifecycle management policy. The other representation is a cloud backup version of the dataset backup (“cloud backup” or “cloud representation”) provided for persisting into cloud storage for a longer retention period according to the lifecycle management policy.

Abstract: With a forever incremental snapshot configuration and a typical caching policy (e.g., least recently used), a storage appliance may evict stable data blocks of an older snapshot, perhaps unchanged data blocks of the snapshot baseline. If stable data blocks have been evicted, restore of a recent snapshot will suffer the time penalty of downloading the stable blocks for restoring the recent snapshot. Creating synthetic baseline snapshots and refreshing eviction data of stable data blocks can avoid eviction of stable data blocks and reduce the risk of violating a recovery time objective.

Abstract: Intelligent snapshot tiering facilitates efficient management of snapshots and efficient restore of snapshots. For intelligent snapshot tiering, a storage appliance can limit cross-tier migration to invalidated data blocks of a snapshot instead of an entire snapshot. Based on a policy, a storage appliance can identify a snapshot to be migrated to another storage tier and then determine which data blocks are invalidated by an immediately succeeding snapshot. This would limit network bandwidth consumption to the invalidated data blocks and maintain the valid data blocks at the faster access storage tier since the more recent snapshots are more likely to be restored.

Abstract: A storage appliance can be designed to facilitate efficient restore of multiple backed up files in a system that allows files to share data blocks. A data management application or storage OS names data blocks and communicates those names to the storage appliance when backing up to or through the storage appliance. The storage appliance can leverage the data block names when restoring a group of files by restoring at data block granularity instead of file granularity. Restoring at the granularity of the data blocks by their names allows the storage appliance to avoid repeatedly sending a same data block to the restore requestor (e.g., a storage OS or data management application) while still instructing the restore requestor how to reconstruct the corresponding file(s) with mappings between valid data ranges and the named data blocks.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon field including thief zones can be modeled based on production history data and supplemental data constraining a thief-zone distribution across the field. In various embodiments, a numerical optimization approach involves creating a plurality of model thief-zone distributions with varying parameter values, parameterizing permeability maps obtained for the thief-zone distributions and aggregating across the thief-zone distributions to obtain distributions of coefficients associated with the parameterization, and then iteratively sampling the coefficient distributions, determining a permeability map of the model based on the selected coefficients, and measuring a deviation between the measured production history data and simulated production history data derived from the computational model until a match is achieved.

Abstract: Metadata generate for incremental backup is disclosed. A subset of blocks used to store file system metadata are identified in a set of blocks changed since a last backup. File system metadata stored in the subset of blocks is used to obtain file system metadata associated with file system objects that have been created and/or modified since the last backup. The file system metadata associated with file system objects that have been created and/or modified since the last backup is used to generate file system metadata files for the incremental backup.

Abstract: A storage tier manager creates different versions of a dataset backup for different retention periods. Each of the versions is distinctly identifiable despite initially representing a same dataset backup. One version can be referred to as a cached version of the dataset backup and another version can be referred to as a cloud version of the dataset backup. When the retention period expires for the cached version of the dataset backup, the storage tier manager migrates the cloud version of the dataset backup from the caching storage tier to the cloud storage tier. The storage tier manager can then recover storage space occupied by data that has been migrated, as long as that data is not shared with other cached versions of other dataset backups due to deduplication.
