Publication number: 20190377642Abstract: A decoupled backup solution for distributed databases across a failover cluster. Specifically, a method and system disclosed herein improve upon a limitation of existing backup mechanisms involving distributed databases across a failover cluster. The limitation entails restraining backup agents, responsible for executing database backup processes across the failover cluster, from immediately initiating these aforementioned processes upon receipt of instructions. Rather, due to this limitation, these backup agents must wait until all backup agents, across the failover cluster, receive their respective instructions before being permitted to initiate the creation of backup copies of their relative distributed database. Subsequently, the limitation imposes an initiation delay on the backup processes, which the disclosed method and system omit, thereby granting any particular backup agent the capability to immediately (i.e., without delay) initiate those backup processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2018Publication date: December 12, 2019Inventors: Asif Khan, Matthew Dickey Buchman, Tushar B.
