Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for storing updated storage stack summaries may include (1) analyzing a storage stack to determine a structure of the storage stack, (2) storing a summary of the structure of the storage stack to a database, (3) intercepting a command directed to the storage stack that causes a change to the structure of the storage stack, and (4) updating only that portion of the summary of the structure in the database that is affected by the change to the structure of the storage stack instead of updating the entire summary. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating catalogs for snapshots may include (1) identifying an initial snapshot and a subsequent snapshot for a protected volume, (2) providing identifiers of the initial snapshot and the subsequent snapshot to a storage vendor application programming interface (API), (3) receiving, from the storage vendor API, an indication of at least one difference between the initial snapshot and the subsequent snapshot, and (4) synthetically generating a catalog for the subsequent snapshot based on a preexisting catalog for the initial snapshot such that the synthetically generated catalog reflects the difference between the initial snapshot and the subsequent snapshot indicated by the storage vendor API. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
