Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques that allow for file system support to be rapidly deployed for new or updated operating system distributions. In some embodiments, a management component is provided perform data management on file systems. When a data management operation on a file system is requested, an operation component searches in a predetermined location for a named module that implements certain types of operations. The operation component then calls these operations (including validate, build and deport operations for the file system) to implement data management procedures in the file system. Implementing support for a new operating system or file system does not require that the management entity be rebuilt. Upon release of a new operating system or file system, a new named module can be written and placed in the predetermined location where the operation module is configured to search.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed an apparatus and method for performing a discovery operation to determine a system layout for a database and one or more files for a dataset stored in the database and performing a backup operation on the dataset to cause storage of a backup copy of each of the one or more files and collect metadata associated with the backup copy of each of the one or more files, the metadata to enable restoration of the one or more files.
