Abstract: Methods and systems for managing, storing, and serving data within a virtualized environment are described. In some embodiments, a data management system may manage the extraction and storage of virtual machine snapshots, provide near instantaneous restoration of a virtual machine or one or more files located on the virtual machine, and enable secondary workloads to directly use the data management system as a primary storage target to read or modify past versions of data. The data management system may allow a virtual machine snapshot of a virtual machine stored within the system to be directly mounted to enable substantially instantaneous virtual machine recovery of the virtual machine.

Abstract: Techniques for preventing recovery of specific data elements based on a recovery prevention configuration defined by a user are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computer system performs operations comprising: receiving a recovery prevention configuration from a first computing device of a first user, the recovery prevention configuration comprising at least one recovery prevention parameter specified by the first user via one or more user interface elements displayed on the first computing device, the at least one recovery prevention parameter being configured to identify one or more backup data elements stored in a secondary storage system; storing the recovery prevention configuration in a database in association with the secondary storage system; and filtering out the one or more backup data elements stored in the secondary storage system from a data recovery process based on the at least one recovery prevention parameter of the stored recovery prevention configuration.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improving the performance of a primary system that is running one or more virtual machines and capturing snapshots of the one or more virtual machines over time are described. The performance penalty on the primary system when a hypervisor running the one or more virtual machines is used to capture the snapshots of the one or more virtual machines may be reduced by leveraging storage array snapshots to reduce the amount of time that the hypervisor must freeze virtual disks of the one or more virtual machines. In this case, changed block tracking information for changed data blocks associated with the snapshots may be acquired from the hypervisor and the changed data blocks themselves may be pulled from the storage array snapshots without requiring the hypervisor to keep the virtual disks of the one or more virtual machines in a frozen state.
