Publication number: 20110238695Abstract: A system and method for operating a storage library. The system comprises a management server, a media agent connected to the management server, a library connected to the media agent and a database connected to the management server. The management server controls the media agent to monitor for the addition or removal of a piece of media in the library. When the media agent determines that the piece of media has been added to the library or removed from the library, the media agent causes the library to read a media label stored as data on the piece of media, the media label including an identifier identifying the piece of media. When a backup or restore is performed, the system checks the media label to ensure that the correct media is being used. Inventory procedures are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2011Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: COMMVAULT SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Arun Prasad Amarendran, Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Zahid Ilkal

Patent number: 7962714Abstract: Systems and methods for protecting data in a tiered storage system are provided. The storage system comprises a management server, a media management component connected to the management server, a plurality of storage media connected to the media management component, and a data source connected to the media management component. Source data is copied from a source to a buffer to produce intermediate data. The intermediate data is copied to both a first and second medium to produce a primary and auxiliary copy, respectively. An auxiliary copy may be made from another auxiliary copy. An auxiliary copy may also be made from a primary copy right before the primary copy is pruned.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: CommVault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Arun Prasad Amarendran, Manoj Kumar Vijayan Retnamma, Anand Prahlad, Parag Gokhale, Jun Lu

Patent number: 7865517Abstract: A method in a computer system for retrieving data from one of multiple copies of the data is provided, referred to as the data management system. The data management system receives a request identifying at least one data object to be accessed. Then, the data management system queries a metabase to locate data copies that contain the identified at least one data object, wherein the data copies are created from similar source data, and wherein for each data copy the metabase contains an indication of the availability of the copy relative to other copies. Next, the data management system determines one of the located data copies to use to access the identified at least one data object, wherein the determination is made based on the indicated availability contained in the metabase for each of the located data copies. Then, the data management system accesses the identified at least one data object using the determined one of the located data copies.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: CommVault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Anand Prahlad, Srinivas Kavuri, Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Arun Prasad Amarendran
