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: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for creating, deleting, and restoring volume snapshots in a remote data store are disclosed. A storage volume and a storage operating system are implemented in a software container. Through a user interface, a user may create a snapshot of the volume to a cloud storage. A user may also delete individual snapshots from the cloud storage. Further, deletion of a most recent snapshot may occur by awaiting deletion (though marking as deleted to the user) until a next snapshot is received. Snapshots in the cloud storage are manipulatable even after destruction of the source volume (by destruction of the container, for example). A controller outside the container is used by implementing the same API as the controller in the container had. Full restores of snapshots in the cloud are also possible even when the original container and volume have been destroyed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for incremental backup to an object store. A request may be received from an application to perform a backup from a volume hosted by a node to a backup target within the object store. A set of changed files within the volume since a prior backup of the volume was performed to the backup target is identified, along with metadata associated with the set of changed files. The metadata is utilized to identify changed data blocks comprising data of the set of changed files that was modified since the prior backup. The changed data blocks are backed up to the object store.

Abstract: A technical solution for monitoring operation of a medical delivery device such as an infusion pump for occlusion is provided that obviates the need for any hardware changes or additions. A pump measurement such as pump duration (e.g., duration of aspirate stroke or dispense stroke in a rotational metering-type pump or a reciprocating-type pump) that is already provided for in a pump is analyzed to determine the differences in the pump measurement during normal operating conditions and occluded conditions, and a threshold or metric is set. When a detected pump measurement fails to meet a threshold, the pump can either indicate to the user to shutdown operation of the pump or to automatically disable the pump. The pump measurement can be a single one, or a subset, or a N combination of stroke duration, end-stop or limit switch activation, and duration difference between aspirate and dispense strokes.

Abstract: A technique efficiently determines accurate storage space savings reported to a host coupled to a reference-counted storage system that employs de-duplication and compression, wherein the storage space savings relate to snapshots and/or clones supported by the storage system. The snapshot/clone may be represented as an independent volume, and embodied as a respective read-only copy (snapshot) or read-write copy (clone) of a parent volume. Metadata is illustratively organized as one or more multi-level dense trees, wherein each level of each dense tree includes volume metadata entries for storing the metadata. The metadata is illustratively embodied as mappings from LBAs of a LUN to extent keys. Space adjustment counters, such as clone space adjustment (CSA) and diverged space adjustment (DSA) counters, may be employed when determining the storage space savings. The CSA counter is equal to the sum of mapped storage space across all levels of a dense tree.
