  • Patent number: 8504529
    Abstract: A system for restoring data to a storage server generates a lookup data structure based on a backup image, where the lookup data structure defines a correspondence between individual block identifiers and individual data blocks of a plurality of data blocks in the backup image. The system then generates a directory structure on the storage server based on the backup image. After generating the directory structure, the system generates an empty restored file in the directory structure based on the backup image. The system then populates file contents of the restored file based on the lookup data structure.

  • Patent number: 8200638
    Abstract: A network storage server restores a selected file or files from a block-level backup of a data set that contains multiple files, by using a client-server backup protocol, without restoring the entire data set. The backup can include at least one incremental backup image, in which case the file can be restored at least partially from the incremental backup image. A particular version of a file can also be restored, from a block-level backup image that includes multiple snapshots, by automatically selecting a particular snapshot associated with that version of the file, from the backup image, and using the selected snapshot to restore the file.

  • Patent number: 8190836
    Abstract: An image-based backup backs up one or more snapshots of a volume without duplicating common data blocks. A backup engine receives a request to generate a backup image of a volume. In response to the request, the backup engine generates the backup image including data blocks and metadata describing attributes of the data blocks. The data blocks and the metadata arranged in the backup image in a same order as they were retrieved without imposing any additional ordering constraints on the data blocks and the metadata.

  • Patent number: 8126847
    Abstract: Image-based data restoration restores an entire image of a volume or selective files. A restore engine receives a request to restore data from a backup image that includes a plurality of data blocks and metadata describing attributes of the data blocks. In response to the request, the restore engine determines a restore mode. If it is determined to be a logical restore mode, the restore engine restores a file by retrieving the metadata associated with the file and the data blocks that are pointed to by the metadata. If it is determined to be an image restore mode, the restore engine restores an entire image of the volume by using the data blocks in the backup image without using the metadata.
